SODA ASH

Product Description

  • SODA ASH
    SODA ASH is a free flowing powder also known as sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) used in a fluid system to precipitate calcium (hardness) and increase alkalinity (pH).

AMC DRILLING MUDS

JB Trenchless is your one-stop shop for all your drilling needs. As specialists in the trenchless method of drilling, we know just how important drill fluids are. A reliable drilling fluid removes cuttings from your bore, ensuring drilling efficiency. It prevents high pressure frac outs, unwanted fluids, or other unwanted substances into the formation. It maintains the stability of the hole.. It lubricates the drill string and other drill tooling, including your back reamers. These are only a few examples of the purpose of drilling fluids and their fluid additives.

If you are looking for drilling muds to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of your operations, we have the best options for you. We offer a full range of fluid additives suited for any and all directional drilling needs. The success of your drill shot will depend on the quality of your fluid additives. When you take advantage of our tooling or accessories, include fluid additives in your order. We are at the forefront of drilling technology and are well-positioned to cater to all your requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Drilling muds are also known as drilling fluids. They must be used in HDD by first being mixed in your Mixing System and Tanks then pumped down your drill string.

 

They are a complex part to drilling but integral to ensuring you get your job done fast and efficiently.

 

Never underestimate the power of a correct Mud Mix and Mud Flow when drilling on Pilot or Reaming.

There are multiple functions that are served by drilling fluids, including, but not limited to:

  • Remove Cuttings from bore hole.
  • Formation pressure control
  • Stabilise bore hole from collapse
  • Lubricate and protecting Bits and Tooling
  • Clear cuttings away from cutting face
  • Keep Tooling and Transmitter cool and from overheating
  • Maximise tooling life
