Issues with Gummy Clay? Ask Brock Offers Tips

November 17, 2022

This week’s question focuses on dealing with gummy clay on a big project. “I’m cutting a 27-inch hole and have to go to a 32-inch hole,” Chris asks. “What are your thoughts?” It’s Ask Brock episode 188.

“We do have a clay inhibition problem,” Yordy says, judging by a photo of a booted-off bit sent with Chris’s question. “But we have a clay cutting problem and we have a hole cleaning problem.”

He also talks about right-sizing your mud pump and expectations for hole volume circulation. Click the video to hear more.
