He also covered how MPD could be used to drill in a narrow mud windows, how Leak-off tests could be performed every 80 feet without stopping, how to produce a real time mud window etc. Mr. Richard did also interact with the students for 2 hours after the presentation.
Thank you Mr. Richard for your time and for giving back to the Ragin' Cajuns.
