AES Drilling Fluids

When it comes to being offshore, logistics are an essential part of an efficient drilling operation. Justin and Matt discuss the challenges of managing materials, boats, and fighting for space in the sack room.

Every year, we have a pretty special group of interns work with us and bring their energy to the office. Get to know two from this year’s group and hear their perspective.

It’s been a while since we’ve talked about the whole fluid circulating system. Justin and Matt go back to basics to discuss the tanks and volumes that hold drilling fluids.
