When Should I Rebuild my Drilling Fluid? Ask Brock has Tips
This week, host Brock Yordy takes a question from Devon about when to check and rebuild your mud on 400-foot geothermal holes. That kind of depth creates plenty of cuttings, and if you let your mud weight creep up too much, it complicates loop installation and grouting. How do you manage drilling fluids effectively on a large-scale geothermal project?
“It starts with having a good drilling program and understanding what we’re going to encounter,” Yordy says.
