About this document
Drilling Fluid Calculations Guide by Amine Mimo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses how too much slug, or heavy drilling mud, was pumped into a well during drilling operations. This caused problems when tripping back into the hole, as the extra slug increased the overall mud weight in the well. As a result, the mud weight rising from 13.2 ppg to 14.2 ppg while circulating, and mud began losing. The excess slug pumped into the well over multiple trips increased the mud weight too much and caused instability during drilling operations.
