Mud program
Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-004389
A detailed plan specifying the properties and composition of the drilling fluid to be used for each section of a well. The program outlines the required mud type, density, viscosity, and fluid-loss control parameters based on anticipated geological formations, pressures, and temperatures. It also includes contingency plans for potential wellbore problems like lost circulation or well control events, along with estimated volumes and costs for chemicals.
