A senior mud engineer typically works in the day, and a junior mud engineer at night. The cost of the drilling fluid is typically about 10% (may vary greatly) of the total cost of drilling a well, and demands competent mud engineers. Large cost savings result when the mud engineer and fluid performs adequately.

The conflagrations devastated steep slopes, which caused loss of vegetation and destabilization of the soil and greatly facilitated subsequent mudflows. The mudflows caused at least $177 million (2018 USD) in property damage, [2] and cost at least $7 million in emergency responses [2] and another $43 million (2018 USD) to clean up. [3]
Niland Geyser (nicknamed the "Slow One" [2] and formally designated W9) [3] is a moving mud pot or mud spring outside Niland, California in the Salton Trough in an area of geological instability due to the San Andreas Fault, [4] formed due to carbon dioxide being released underground. It is the only mud pot or mud volcano known to have moved so ...
Burning vegetation and soil on a slope more than doubles the rate of water runoff, according to the California Department of Conservation, and there have been severe events over the years. On Jan. 9, 2018, intense rain fell on a weeks-old wildfire burn scar in the mountains above Montecito on the Santa Barbara County coast, unleashing what ...
