2024 10 29 Profiles of Courage - Adeline Turner Halliburton

Oct 29, 2024

This morning, Tuesday, October 29, 2024, 6:00 am MST, we are drilling at 10,785’ TD, 15 fph. We made 295‘, averaging 13 fph (5 fph min, 20 fph max). Yesterday was another routine drilling day – our drillers working closely with the directional drillers, optimizing pump rates, weight on bit, rotary speed, slide drilling, and rotary drilling to maximize P rates, however; P rates are not as expected. We will keep monitoring drilling parameters to determine if a bit trip is necessary to change bits, BHA, etc. to improve P rates. Still fighting Green Mountain to maintain desired angle (12⁰) and trajectory (320⁰).

Today’s video features Ms. Adeline Turner, Fluids Specialist for Halliburton (old school called “Mud Engineer”). Adeline is one of two Fluids Specialists that are assigned to Lost Soldier. They work 24 hours a day, two weeks on/ two weeks off. They are responsible for maintaining the mud system to ensure the drilling fluid is properly mixed, controlled, and tested to specifications. She was also with us last year in the drilling of the Green Mountain Federal #4 sidetrack. That mud system was in excellent condition and encountered no problems! Please find attached a typical mud report that is prepared at least twice a day. It gives a complete analysis of all properties of the mud as well as, the chemicals and additives that were added to the mud that day. You will have to zoom in on the attachment to see all the details.

Enjoy!
