A Conversation with James Strickland - Episode 56
In this episode of the Flowline, Matt and Justin sit down with AES's VP James Strickland to discuss what it's like to run drilling fluids in an offshore environment. All three gentleman have a unique experience of being offshore which helped provide insight on how drilling fluids are applied offshore along with their respective challenges.

The Future – Episode 54
Do you need a little encouragement through these tough times? The media has several sources that are predicting the “future”… do we have reasons to believe they are right? Do we have reasons to believe they are wrong? There is a lot to dig into when predicting what our future will hold, let’s talk through it and see what the positives could be!

Particle Size Analysis - Episode 51
The size and distribution of particles in a drilling fluid can impact fluid performance. You may need big solids for bridging or wellbore strengthening. Small particles might result in poor fluid loss and progressive gels. How do we measure particle size distribution and why does it matter? Matt and Justin discuss this and more in Episode 51 of the Flowline.
