Drilling fluid circulating and monitoring system and method

摘要

A drilling fluid monitoring system and method includes a pump stroke counter providing an electrical signal representing the volume of drilling fluid pumped into a well, a flow sensing device providing an electrical signal representing the volume of drilling fluid flowing out of the well, fluid level an electrical measuring device providing an electrical signal representing the fluid level changes within a tank, and a device receiving the electrical signals emitted by the pump stroke counter, flow sensor and measuring device to indicate changes in the circulation of the well drilling fluid.
