Mining Products

Mining exploratory drilling requires that the borehole be stabilized while obtaining the maximum geological information from returning core or cuttings. The drilling fluid design must be able to address some of the most challenging geologic conditions. From exploratory drilling to core recovery, the drilling fluid must maximize borehole stability, properly clean the hole and maximize core recovery.

MAX GEL high yield bentonite mixes easily to provide viscosity and suspension of cuttings and provides a high quality filter cake to aid in stabilizing the borehole.

PLATINUM PAC additive is a readily dispersible PAC specially designed for easy mixing. It enhances the filtration control properties of a MAX GEL slurry and also helps stabilize problem shales.

The POLY-PLUS family of polymers aid in providing inhibition and aids in controlling the swelling of reactive clays and shales.

ROD EASE lubricant helps protects the rods and provides excellent lubricity to aid in reducing torque.
