Mud Pump in Oil & Gas Drilling | Petropath Fluids India Limited

In oil and gas drilling, circulating drilling fluids (muds) is critical for maintaining wellbore stability, cooling drill bits, transporting cuttings, and controlling formation pressure. To achieve this, rigs depend on a specialized piece of equipment: the drilling pump.

This high-pressure reciprocating machine, commonly called the Mud Pump, delivers drilling fluids from the mud pits into the drill string and downhole. Often referred to as the “heart of the rig,” it is engineered for heavy-duty, continuous use in the toughest conditions.

At Petropath Fluids India Limited, we provide API 7K-compliant drilling pumps built for durability, efficiency, and reliability in both onshore and offshore applications.
