I did not make it sound like that, you assumed.

And yes a proper breathing apparatus (forced air hoods) are required
in the mud tanks as most mud is petro based. I said you have to "Suit
up" to go into the tanks bonehead, pay attention Im not talking about
a gray pin stripe.

Are you using oil based mud in the gulf now? Over here there is very
little used, or at least it is not usually used, as it costs more and
generally the formations found do not require it. In addition most
countries in the area are now, more of less, environmentally conscious
so the days of just dumping the mud tanks is pretty well over.

We could never dump mud, if they over bought they would take back
what was never used. I'm not sure what kind stuff they are mixing
these days, it would change weekly to what ever was the best thing
going. We hauled stuff that looks and feels like heavy runny snot to
boat loads of black magic. I think the gulf is getting pretty tight on
any type of discharge, and it's been awhile since I hung around with
any drilling fluid folks.

By the way, I find that snipping Willy's comments contributes to the
intellectual quotient of the conversation * :-)

I'm glad you were able to find something on the internet related to
the subject.

Cheers,
