Recently, I was driving to an appointment and I passed a drill rig that appeared to be drilling a new well very near the road I was driving on. Both the driller and his helper were working bare headed.

In North America, state or provincial regulations work to ensure that wells are properly drilled and do not pose a threat to valued groundwater aquifers. An important aspect of completing a well is to grout the annular space between the drilled borehole and the casing.

In my last column, I wrote about some customers who thought they knew more about well repair than we, as professionals, did.

Holy rip, where did my drilling fluids go?
