The Goal of Haggard ID’s pipe wiper is to aid in eliminating hazardous working conditions, which in turn, will create a safer work area while aiding in the protection of the environment. The MUD DOG wiper keeps mud in the well bore, resulting in increased crew safety, clean rig floors, and money SAVED. Let the MUD DOG wiper maintain a clean, dry, work area for the rig crew while enhancing your safety program. Better working conditions make for better crews! The drilling industry now requires a high priority be placed upon health, safety, training, and the environment- in all facets of work performed in the field. The following highlights how the MUD DOG wiper compliments these areas of concern:
- Crews will not be exposed to as many chemicals found within the drilling fluid (including water based mud, oil-based mud, synthetic derivatives, and completion fluids)
- Providing a clean and safer work environment contributes to higher crew morale
- The MUD DOG wiper will do your dirty work for you, while tripping drill pipe, keeping the mud in the well bore instead of ending up on the rig floor and racking area (messy stuff to work in!). Time spent cleaning the rig floor and racking area equals BIG BUCKS!
- Pipe boxes can be removed from the floor area leaving an obstruction free work area
- It is estimated that the MUD DOG wiper saves mud- approximately 1 barrel per 1000’ of pipe pulled from the well bore (thixotropic properties of the mud and pipe size govern the amount of mud being saved by the MUD DOG wiper) Keeping the stuff in the wellbore cuts clean-up costs!
- The MUD DOG keeps drilling fluids contained in the wellbore and off of the rig floor where you can lose containment potential. When laying down drill pipe, no need to worry about clean up before transport of pipe to another location
- There is no need for excessive pipe dope because tool joints stay cleaner
- No clean-up crews are required- the MUD DOG takes care of the clean-up for you
- In cold weather operations the MUD DOG will prevent ice plugs and keep ice away from box and pin threads in tool joints
- The MUD DOG wiper can be customized to be used in hot temperature wells up to 450 degrees
- The MUD DOG wiper can be used in any tubular pipe design available today
- It takes no special tools, or training, to redress or repair the MUD DOG on location
- Pipe boxes are no longer required leaving an obstruction free work area
