Mud engineer
One of common offshore job is mud engineer. A mud engineer (correctly called a Drilling Fluids Engineer, but sometimes referred to as the “Mud Man”, though women also do this job today) works on an oil well drilling rig, and is responsible for the drilling fluid, also known as drilling mud which lubricates the drill bit and clears cuttings from the borehole.
The mud engineer (or drilling fluids engineer) is usually a college or technical graduate, who has been on a special training course, known as “mud school”. Prior to drilling, a program will be worked out according to the expected geology. As the hole gets deeper, more mud is required, and the mud engineer is responsible for making sure that it is made up to specification. The chemical composition of the mud will be designed so as not to destabilize the hole. It is sometimes necessary to completely change the mud to drill through a particular subsurface layer.
As drilling proceeds, the mud engineer will get information from the mud logger about progress through the geology and will make regular physical and chemical checks on the drilling mud. In particular the Marsh funnel viscosity and the density are frequently checked. As drilling proceeds, the mud tends to accumulate small particles of the rocks which are being drilled through, and its properties change. It is the job of the mud engineer to specify additives to correct these changes, or to partially or wholly replace the mud when necessary. He or she must also keep an eye on the equipment which is used to pump the mud and to remove particles, and be prepared if the geologists’ predictions are not entirely correct, or if other problems arise.
It is sometimes necessary to stabilize the wall of a borehole at a particular depth by pumping cement down through the mud system, and the mud engineer is in charge of this process.
The mud engineer is well supported by the mud supply company with computer aids and manuals dealing with all known problems and their solution, but it is his or her responsibility to get it right in a situation where mistakes can be very costly indeed.
