Abstract
A technique facilitates a drilling operation, e.g. a land-based drilling operation, by enabling a substantial reduction in the number of equipment components. According to an embodiment, a mud pump assembly is provided with at least one mud pump located on a rig positioned at a wellsite. Electric power is provided to the rig to enable operation of the rig, including operation of the mud pumps when pumping mud downhole to facilitate drilling of a borehole. The rig's electric power also is used to operate a cement mixer for mixing a cementing fluid. This cementing fluid may be pumped downhole during a cementing operation by the same mud pumps employed during the mud pumping operation.
