Because it had too many flow path issues! Seriously though, if we could just optimize the rheology like we optimize our jokes, we’d be drilling through rock like butter. What’s the most ridiculous fluid property you’ve had to explain to the layperson?
, explaining fluid properties can be such a pain! I’ve had to break down viscosity so many times, and the blank stares I get are something else. if we just had a flow chart or something, it’d help people visualize better, right? And that whole ‘drilling through rock like butter’ bit is spot on; if only the tools matched the expectations. What’s your go-to way to keep it simple?
