Horizontal DIrectional Drilling (HDD)

HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING (HDD)

QUIMACER offers a wide range of products specially designed to facilitate the work of this new drilling technique.

HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING (HDD) is growing compared to other more costly traditional techniques, because it allows the installation of services such as water, telecommunications, electricity, etc., in a fast, clean, and with little visual and environmental impact.

The range of additives we propose to facilitate the development of drilling are:

PHASE HDD	PRODUCT	PURPOSE
PILOT HOLE	BENTONITE POLYMER	Formulate and fill the hole with drilling fluid.
REAMING (ENLARGE)	BENTONITE POLYMER SHALE INHIBITOR FOAMING BARITA	Keep the hole stability, removing cuttings, shale inhibitor, act as lubticant for tools, compesating hidrostatic pressure.
PLACING OF PIPES	BENTONITE POLYMER SHALE INHIBITOR	Keep the hole stability, lubricate the tools and improve the yield of drilling process.

The addition of additives to drilling fluid will provide it with the following propierties:

Increasing the viscosity of drilling fluid, increasing its capacity to carry the cuttings..
To retard settling of cuttings even at standstill, avoiding any blockage of the drill.
To keep hole stability.
Compensating hydristatic pressure when drilling groundwater levels confined at low pressure.
Act as lubricant and minimize overheating of the tools.
