Iam trying to make inverted oil mud

It depends upon HLB (Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance) which is an empirical expression for the relationship of the hydrophilic ("water-loving") and hydrophobic ("water-hating") groups of a surfactant.

Please find the attahched file, I hope it will help your cause. Thank You
