  2. Drilling fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_fluid

    In geotechnical engineering, drilling fluid, also known as drilling mud, is used to aid the drilling of boreholes into the earth. Used while drilling oil and natural gas wells and on exploration drilling rigs, drilling fluids are also used for much simpler boreholes, such as water wells. The two main categories of drilling fluids are water ...

  3. Mud engineer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_engineer

    Mud is a vital part of drilling operations. It provides hydrostatic pressure on the borehole wall to prevent uncontrolled production of reservoir fluids, lubricates and cools the drill bit, carries the drill cuttings up to the surface, forms a "filter-cake" on the borehole wall to prevent drilling fluid invasion, provides an information medium for well logging, and helps the drilling by ...

  4. Glossary of oilfield jargon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_oilfield_jargon

    Mud: Slang term for drilling fluid. A "mud man" is the drilling fluids technician responsible for formulating the mud, while a "mud logger" checks mud cuttings from the drill bit for traces of rock or oil and gas that provide a picture of conditions downhole. Negative Pressure test: A test performed to determine the integrity of wells.

  5. Drill stem test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_stem_test

    Drill stem testing is an oil and gas exploration procedure to isolate, stimulate and flow a downhole formation to determine the fluids present and the rate at which they can be produced. The main objective of a DST is to evaluate the commercial viability of a zone's economic potential by identifying productive capacity, pressure, permeability ...

  7. Completion (oil and gas wells) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completion_(oil_and_gas_wells)

    Completion (oil and gas wells) Well completion is the process of making a well ready for production (or injection) after drilling operations. This principally involves preparing the bottom of the hole to the required specifications, running in the production tubing and its associated down hole tools as well as perforating and stimulating as ...

  8. Mud Gas Separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_Gas_Separator

    Mud Gas Separator. Mud Gas Separator is commonly called a gas-buster or poor boy degasser. It captures and separates the large volumes of free gas within the drilling fluid. If there is a "kick" situation, this vessel separates the mud and the gas by allowing it to flow over baffle plates. The gas then is forced to flow through a line, venting ...

  9. Shale shakers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shale_shakers

    Shale shakers are components of drilling equipment used in many industries, such as coal cleaning, mining, oil and gas drilling.They are the first phase of a solids control system on a drilling rig, and are used to remove large solids (cuttings) from the drilling fluid ("mud"). Drilling fluids are integral to the drilling process and, among ...
