Nothing beats Integrity and Experience.

When you are ready for a hard working and dependable expert for your drilling fluids program, don't just hire a "mud checker", hire a professional, experienced Drilling Fluids Engineer.

It takes much more to be a quality drilling fluids professional, than testing the drilling fluid and making a report. It takes constant monitoring of all the solids control equipment, a constant monitoring of the rig activity, and good communications with all the personnel envolved. It takes a good understanding of the rig equipment; mud tanks, valves, pumps, shakers, flow-lines, etc. Developing a relationship with rig personnel is very beneficial. Safety is absolutely paramount. Attending safety meetings are not only about safety, but they provide information regarding future activity. Being informed is important.
