DIRECTED HORIZONTAL DRILLING

During horizontal directional drilling, the survey team found itself drilling loosely consolidated granular layers interspersed with highly plastic and expansive clays. He contacted Quimacer to offer them a solution that would allow them to drill the ground horizontally. Initially, they used a bentonite mud to stabilize the borehole walls due to its binding effect.   When using this type of…

FLUID LOSS

During a drilling with core recovery at a depth of 320m with circulation Conversely, the probing team realized that a loss of fluid was taking place. They were drilling consolidated ground with rocks and fissures. Solution proposed by the QUIMACER team: use QUIMASEAL FIBRAS as an additive capable of sealing cracks. The sealing action of the QUIMASEAL is due to…

WHY SHOULD WE USE ADDITIVES WITH DRILLING FLUIDS?

Our goal is to improve drilling performance Drilling tasks are more demanding every day. To face these tasks, the drilling machinery as well as the processes are increasingly efficient. In order to complete the survey successfully and with the highest profitability, it is essential to use ADDITIVES for the formulation of specific muds. In drilling and drilling terms, a drilling…

EXCAVATION SCREEN WALL WITH ADJOINING PILES

During the construction of a screen wall with adjoining piles, sticky, expansive clays limited the speed of execution and compromised the stability of the drilling walls. Solution proposed by the QUIMACER team: use QUIMAFLUX ST 0.8% of QUIMAFLUX ST was incorporated into the drilling fluid. It was increased by 16% in the speed of execution per pile keeping the walls…
