UN_Mud_Tank_HSDP-2b_1.jpg
A view looking down into one of our mud tanks. The viscosity of this mud is adjusted when it is mixed to promote ideal lubrication for the bit to cut the rock at the bottom of the hole.

Ron and Dave mix up a polymer that will be added to the drilling mud. This mixture will be pumped into the hole to reduce torque when we rotate the drill string.
