Enhance your mining performance
Based in Nevada and Arizona, our mining services bring together specially designed drilling fluids products and engineering with the expert knowledge of our global facility network. Helping mining exploration operations save time, improve results and reduce project costs by significantly reducing vibration, improving torque and reducing drag.
Protect core sample quality
Up to 2,500 RPM. 1/8 of an inch annular space. Severely damaging torque and drag.
Both rod and wireline coring techniques are used to evaluate the ore quality of potential mines. But neither is without risk.
We understand that hydraulics management is absolutely key to safely deliver optimal core recovery in small, rapidly developing operations. That’s why each of our mining solutions has been optimized to overcome your unique operational challenges.
DrillEase mining drilling fluid system
Formulated specifically for mining applications, DrillEase blends the exceptional performance enhancing technology of our Evolution® wasterbased drilling fluid system with the optimal shale inhibition technology of our DeepDrill® system.
DrillEase™ inhibition mechanisms
Polyol chemistry
Applications:Non-ionic materials for activity reduction, hydrogen bonding to clay surfaces, membrane development
Benefits:Improved shale stability, lubricity and rate-ofpenetration; reduced risk of hydrate formation when gas encountered
Emulsified phase
Applications:Improves membrane, coats formation surfaces with non-aqueous film
Benefits:Lubricity, rate-of-penetration, shale stability
