Our pneumatic mud bucket, called the ‘Mud Bug’™, is the new generation of quiet, lightweight and safe drill mud handling equipment. Weighing in at a fraction of its competition, it has been proven over and over to handle the task of containing oil-based drilling mud being released during the pipe retrieval process. The task of pulling a wet string has become standard in the drilling industry due to the technological advances of drilling processes happening today. Therefore, our new patented and lightweight design solution has quickly become the preferred unit of choice.
In a short period of time, we are experiencing tremendous success with the pneumatic ‘Mud Bug’™. We welcome new clients to see how safe and effective it is at containing the wet string fluids of today’s oilfield.
