Drilling fluid waste management and solids control of drilling mud related technic and developed situation.
Centrifugal pumps are one of the most common types used in industry. It’s a device that pumps mud for solids control equipment. Figure 1 shows a generic, single stage centrifugal pump and Figure 2 illustrates a multistage centrifugal pump.

In reality, it is commonly observed that, no matter how sharp a drilling break or clearly defined a formation top on an electric log, the formation top as logged from cuttings will appear to be “transitional.” (Note: not transitional in the sense that the cuttings show a varying composition, but that cuttings of a new type appear in increasing abundance as more hole is made.)

Continue reading “What Is Mud LOGGING”The circulating system pumps drilling mud in and back out of the well hole. Drilling mud is stored in several steel mud tanks on the ground beside the rig.
