Iran to manufacture mud logging apparatus

Chairman of the mud lugging bureau at the National Iranian Drilling Company noted that Iran is to manufacture a mud logging apparatus inside the country. Ahmad Naqqash noted that the equipment will be made in cooperation with a foreign company and, at present, plans have been made to manufacture ten sets of the equipment.
"The foreign counterpart is worth $ 650,000 and its domestic production will be more economical," he noted.

Mud logging apparatus provides needed information about surface drilling operations including increase or decrease in volume of reservoirs, weight of mud and pressure of drilling fluid and will facilitate identification of any kind of fluid in drilling mud by sensors that are installed at various places along a drilling rig.
