Polymer-based HDD Fluid
Applications and Functions
CLAY-DRILL is a single sack product designed for HDD applications where sacrificial fluids are the preferred system of choice. CLAY-DRILL polymer-based HDD fluid is designed to provide borehole stabilization, counteract the sticking tendencies of clay and maximize clay/shale inhibition without the need for additional additives.
- Clay and shale stabilization to reduce swelling and/or disintegration
- Viscosity development in fresh water drilling fluids
- Enhanced lubricity for reduction of rotational torque and drag
- Reduction of the ability of clay or shale to adhere to bit, reamer and drill string
- Development of a “clay-free” drilling fluid
Advantages
- NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 60 certified
- Single-sack product, reduces the number of products on-site
- Effective in low concentrations
- Easy to mix
