2. 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 ...

3. Blowout (well drilling) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowout_(well_drilling)

   The primary means of detecting a kick while drilling is a relative change in the circulation rate back up to the surface into the mud pits. The drilling crew or mud engineer keeps track of the level in the mud pits and closely monitors the rate of mud returns versus the rate that is being pumped down the drill pipe.

4. Drilling fluid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_fluid

   The compliance engineer is the most common name for a relatively new position in the oil field, emerging around 2002 due to new environmental regulations on synthetic mud in the United States. Previously, synthetic mud was regulated the same as water-based mud and could be disposed of in offshore waters due to low toxicity to marine organisms.

   In 2020, the United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the median pay for petroleum engineers was US$137,330, or roughly $66.02 per hour. [17] The same summary projects there will be 3% job growth in this field from 2019 to 2029. [17] SPE annually conducts a salary survey.

6. Drilling fluid invasion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_fluid_invasion

   The liquid component of the drilling fluid (known as the mud filtrate, or spurt) continues to "invade" the porous and permeable formation until the solids present in the mud, commonly bentonite, clog enough pores to form a mud cake capable of preventing further invasion.
