HOUSTON (Reuters) - BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said on Wednesday it appears drilling mud, not oil, was gushing from a ruptured undersea well six hours into an effort to halt a growing oil ...

Mud engineering designs, executes, and continuously optimizes the drilling fluid system to control subsurface pressures, stabilize the wellbore, remove cuttings, cool/lubricate the bit and BHA, ...

Mud pulse telemetry is a pivotal technology in modern drilling operations, enabling the transmission of downhole measurements to the surface via modulated pressure pulses in the circulating drilling ...

We take easy communications for granted these days. It’s no bother to turn on a lightbulb remotely via a radio link or sense the water level in your petunias, but how does a drilling rig sense data ...

Dilution-based dual-gradient drilling (DGD) reduces casing strings and drilling costs while increasing hole size at total depth by injecting mud down an artificially-created annulus with a different ...

Mud logging is the real-time surface monitoring and interpretation of cuttings, drilling parameters, and mud gas to support safe, efficient drilling and formation evaluation during well construction.
