Reed gets him talking through everything from lime-based mud to modern hydraulic tricks, breaking down how drilling fluids actually keep wells under control and why the industry is never done evolving. Blake’s been in the thick of it for years, so every explanation comes with a story, a laugh, or a “you won’t believe what happened on this job” moment. It’s the kind of conversation that hits whether you’ve spent decades on rigs or you’re just curious about what really goes into punching a hole in the ground.\nClick here to watch a video of this episode.\n00:00 - Intro\n02:08 - Blake Mosley Interview\n07:12 - Understanding Drilling Mud\n10:57 - What is Drilling Mud?\n13:42 - Overbalance & Wellbore Stability\n20:00 - Building a Filter Cake\n26:11 - Hydrostatic Pressure Explained\n29:45 - Blowout Prevention & Well Control\n34:33 - Improving Drilling Performance with Data\n40:07 - Mud Properties & Downhole Tools\n49:09 - Daniel's North Dakota Project\n51:08 - Challenges in the Oil & Gas Industry\n56:55 - Exploring Sexy Brines\n01:01:00 - Types of Drilling Mud\n01:04:30 - Barite in Drilling\n01:06:51 - Reduce, Recycle, Reuse in Drilling\n01:09:29 - APHRODITE Technology\n01:12:12 - Air Drilling Techniques\n01:12:50 - Making Foam for Drilling\n01:15:00 - Drilling Anywhere: Strategies\n01:22:10 - Nighttime Cementing Operations\n01:28:17 - Industry Changes Over 20 Years\n01:32:18 - Unconventional Tech & Conventional Drilling\n01:35:33 - Laying on Bottom in Drilling\n01:37:09 - Stuck Pipe Issues\n01:39:20 - Importance of Tally Books\n01:45:36 - Professional Goals in Drilling\n01:49:41 - Blake's Aspirations\n01:56:09 - Sporting Clays Experience\n01:56:35 - Crane Hunting Adventures\n02:01:32 - Duck Hunting Insights\n02:02:30 - Contacting Blake Mosley\n02:03:10 - Closing Remarks...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/G8RysJH0LZA7a8as_Ci5ZitDqCgbrNrQji_eFbfKZ4k/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84ZGJi/NDEwYzNlNWNiM2Q2/YmViYjFlOTUxMWQw/ZWZkMy5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
