I have a buddy that hauls mud, till I visited with him, I just thought that's what it was ... mud... (me)> but he didn't go into so much detail on it's purpose.

In addition to the calculations for actual mud weight... they have to figure the circulating mud weight equivlancy... Flow creates friction which add weight the formation sees... It's all very critical to not losing a hole...

We'll actually be losing a few cubic inches... The new motor should be around 419 cubic inches... but will have the six bolt block... It'll still have the oversized head studs.

We'll lose a few cubic inches due to the reduced stroke for the larger rod journals... I'll give up a little to gain a lot...

The psi of any fluid at those depths must be crazy high! I can imagine the pressure making salt into a fluid like substance

If the mud on drilling operations is anything like the slurry we use when pouring concrete foundations for high-voltage transmission lines, you do NOT want to get it on you or your clothes. We call it "snot" for a reason...

Haha. I agree with those demands. But somehow we need to get rid of taxes, but I need to keep my job as an accountant. hmmm.

I hope it's strong because power lines are low on my list of things I want to fall on my head ... lower down the list than a hot chick, but higher than a bridge
