A new automated mud-mixing system, the Halliburton R/A Densometer, offers the industry a tool that can be used along with adjustable drilling chokes, degassers, and gas separators to form a package that will keep the operator in positive control of his well at all times. Its chief advantage lies in its ability to control impending blowouts by accurately and reliably measuring true mud density in continuous monitoring and automatic maintenance of the desired mud weight - unaffected by the material composition of normal mud systems. The system was used by Lone Star Producing Co. in drilling No. 1 Bertha Rogers to a record depth of 31,441 ft in Oklahoma's Anadarko basin.
