Drilling Mud density or specific gravity is the most significant measurement required and no reliable visual estimate exists. The mud density or specific gravity must be accurately measured in order to successfully drill a well hole. The most accurate measurement of mud density is made by using the Mud Balance. Viscosity is the resistance to flow offered by a fluid. The term is loosely applied as the flow properties of drilling mud. The relative viscosity‚ or the cuttings carrying ability of the

Received 18 April 2005; accepted 26 April 2006 Abstract An old offshore field produced using vertical and directional wells is being redeveloped by drilling horizontal wells. The experience gained while drilling vertical and directional wells is not useful for drilling horizontal wells‚ as the failure rate is 1 in 3 holes. Quantification of drilling problems in sixty wells show that majority are tight holes. Stuck pipes and hole pack offs are also significant in number. The major loss of productivity

Drilling in ANWR The issue of where to get America’s oil from has been an outstanding issue ever since oil was first founded. The major problem is where we get it from: other countries‚ where they are getting billions of dollars yearly but yet we are still preserving our own reserves‚ or our own country‚ where we can save money and create jobs in areas such as Alaska‚ that are rich in oil reserves.
