Flow line

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001477

A large-diameter pipe that transports drilling fluid from the wellbore, through the bell nipple and shale shaker, to the mud tanks on a drilling rig. It carries the returning mud, cuttings, and any formation fluids to the surface for processing and analysis. The flow line is a primary indicator of wellbore conditions and potential influxes.
