slug the pipe

Before hoisting drill pipe, it is desirable to pump into the top section of it a quantity of very heavy mud which will cause the level of the fluid in the pipe to fall. When a stand of pipe is unscrewed, the drilling fluid will have been evacuated from it. This prevents crew members and tools from becoming covered with the drilling fluid.
