Guest Viewpoint: Understanding the Centrifugal Mud Pump
Roger Morse of Schramm Inc. shares his knowledge about the centrifugal mud pump.
As I traveled and questioned drillers, I found that opinions of the centrifugal pumps varied. "Best pump ever built," "What a piece of junk" and "Can't drill more than 200 feet with a centrifugal" were typical of varying responses. Because different opinions had confused the issue, I concluded my discussions and restarted my education with a call to a centrifugal pump manufacturer. After that conversation, I went back to the field to continue my investigation.
