We’re back at work and there are a lot of new faces at the rig site. What can you do as a mud engineer to make things with your derrick hand go as smoothly as possible?

It’s been a while since we’ve talked about the whole fluid circulating system. Justin and Matt go back to basics to discuss the tanks and volumes that hold drilling fluids.
