Vertical drilling products, filtration additives, stabilizers and lubricants for water well drilling
The water well industry requires drilling fluid products that are multi-purpose, easy-to-use, environmentally acceptable and most importantly, effective.
Vertical Drilling Products
Drilling fluid products are essential in vertical drilling operations as they help to remove cuttings, maintain borehole stability, and control pressure. The use of effective drilling fluid products can enhance the drilling efficiency, safety, and accuracy of vertical drilling operations.
CEBOGEL® OCMA is a sodium-activated Bentonite, defined as our most concentrated Bentonite drilling product (up to 8%).
Under pumping conditions, CEBOGEL OCMA is subject to shear thinning and becomes easily flowable; when motionless, the fluid thickens into a gel-like structure, allowing for effective suspension and carrying of large cuttings.
CEBOGEL OCMA is a versatile drilling Bentonite, ideal for large-diameter, long distance HDD operations due to its high gel-strength and stable viscosity. CEBOGEL OCMA can be recycled and reused efficiently.
Water Well Filtration Control Additives
Water Well Filtration Control Additives prevent the loss of drilling fluid into the formation, which can cause borehole instability, reduced drilling performance, and contamination of the water source. The use of effective filtration control additives can minimize the risks associated with fluid loss and help maintain a stable drilling environment.
QUIK-TROL® is an additive that provides filtration control in most water-based drilling fluids.
Water Well Clay/Shale Stabilizers
Water Well Clay/Shale Stabilizers help to prevent the destabilization of clay and shale formations, which can lead to borehole instability and other drilling problems.
EZ MUD® is a polymer emulsion, primarily used as a borehole stabilizer to prevent reactive shale and clay from swelling and sloughing.
Water Well Lost Circulation Materials
Lost Circulation Materials help prevent the loss of drilling fluids into porous formations and fractures, which can lead to costly drilling fluid losses, borehole instability, and reduced drilling performance. The use of effective lost circulation materials can help maintain a stable drilling environment and improve the efficiency and safety of water well operations.
FUSE-IT® is a synthetic polymer lost circulation material, designed to help seal off even the most severe loss zones in as little as 30 minutes.er.
Water Well Specialist Products
AQUA-CLEAR® PFD is a phosphate-free dispersant that provides superior mud and sediment removal from the producing formation and gravel pack.
Vertical Drilling Lubricants
Vertical Drilling Lubricants reduce the friction and wear between the drill bit and the borehole, which can lead to decreased drilling performance and equipment damage. The use of effective lubricants can help extend the life of the drilling equipment, improve drilling efficiency, and reduce downtime.
Cebo Tunnel-Lube is a torque reducer that helps to provide friction reduction and improve lubrication characteristics of water-based drilling fluids.
