Sorry I missed my deadline last month, folks; I had more on my plate than I could say grace over! I started the month with what I had planned to be a short road trip ...
It looks like one of the strangest winters I
remember finally is coming to an end. It started late, and we all hoped it
wouldn’t interfere with drilling too much ...
In normal mud rotary drilling, it is not unusual for solids content to approach 20 percent of returns during fast-hole drilling. This is good; it means fast penetration and thus, a quicker, more profitable hole. The trick is to get the solids out of the mud before it is returned to the hole.
