Formerly entitled Drilling Muds, this is an entirely new book, rewritten to meet the everchanging nature and usage of drilling fluids. The study of muds is an extremely important component to a successfully drilled oil well. Crucial to proper circulation is the understanding and usage of composition, certain properties of mud, water-base drilling muds, oil muds, effects of air, gas, and mist drilling, and various problems that could occur with each method. Thorough descriptions of mud and its properties are put to the reader in an orderly fashion. All new illustrations, study questions, and a complete glossary will enhance the student's learning experience.Kate Van Dyke is the author of 'Drilling Fluids: Lesson 2', published 2000 under ISBN 9780886981891 and ISBN 0886981891.
