HDD Viscosifiers
HDD Viscosifiers help maintain the stability and fluidity of drilling mud, which helps reduce the risk of borehole instability, fluid loss, and damage to the drilling equipment. The use of effective viscosifying products can enhance the efficiency and safety of HDD operations.
CEBOGEL® OCMA is a sodium-activated Bentonite, defined as our most concentrated Bentonite drilling product (up to 8%).
Under pumping conditions, CEBOGEL OCMA is subject to shear thinning and becomes easily flowable; when motionless, the fluid thickens into a gel-like structure, allowing for effective suspension and carrying of large cuttings.
CEBOGEL OCMA is a versatile drilling Bentonite, ideal for large-diameter, long distance HDD operations due to its high gel-strength and stable viscosity. CEBOGEL OCMA can be recycled and reused efficiently.
Cebo Hybrid-Gel is a high-yield biodegradable fluid system, based on natural, non-toxic polymers, and is defined as our staple environmentally friendly drilling product. It has a relatively low mixing ratio and is ideal for all small-scale Core Drilling operations.
Cebo Hybrid-Gel is extremely versatile; it can be used as a single-sack solution to build viscosity and improve fluid loss, or alternatively used in addition to a polymer-based drilling fluid to stabilize and enhance existing properties.
Cebo Hybrid-Gel is an efficient clay and shale inhibitor and promotes effective solids suspension and transportation. Cebo Hybrid-Gel can be mixed in fresh, brackish, or saturated salt water.
Cebo Wyoming API composes high quality, natural Sodium Bentonite from Wyoming (U.S.A). The product is used in Vertical Drilling operations and is characterized by its low Yield Point/Plastic Viscosity ratio.
TUNNEL-GEL® PLUS is a high-yield Bentonite, defined by its increased polymer volume, and is used predominantly as a viscosifier.
TUNNEL-GEL PLUS promotes rapid viscosity development and subsequent high gel strength, allowing for effective suspension and transportation of drilled solids. TUNNEL-GEL PLUS is ideal for conventional drilling operations, enhancing filtration control and maintaining borehole stability throughout.
TUNNEL-GEL® MAX is a Bentonite-based viscosifier, defined by its higher mixing ratio, and is ideally used in larger-diameter HDD operations.
The product's higher mixing ratio allows for increased Bentonite content per volume and creates subsequent high gel strength in a drilling fluid. As a result, TUNNEL-GEL MAX effectively suspends and transports drilled solids – regardless of lower annular velocity.
TUNNEL-GEL® SW is a Bentonite-based drilling fluid additive, uniquely designed to viscosify brackish or saline make-up water.
Fluid systems designed with TUNNEL-GEL SW assist in providing essential borehole stability and filtration control.
The product enhances fluid carrying capacity, ensuring that drilled solids suspend and transport efficiently.
HDD Filtration Control Additives
HDD Filtration Control Additives prevent the loss of drilling fluid into the formation, which can result in borehole instability and decreased drilling performance. By using effective filtration control additives, HDD Operators can minimize the risks associated with fluid loss and maintain a stable drilling environment.
QUIK-TROL® is an additive that provides filtration control in most water-based drilling fluids.
QUIK-TROL® LV is a low viscosity additive that provides filtration control in most water-based drilling fluids, without substantially increasing viscosity.
QUIK-TROL® GOLD is an easily dispersible additive and provides filtration control in most water-based drilling fluids.
QUIK-TROL® GOLD LV is low viscosity, highly dispersible additive that provides filtration control in most water-based drilling fluids, without substantially increasing viscosity.
PAC™-L is a low viscosity filtration control additive. The product provides filtration control in most water-based drilling fluids without substantially increasing viscosity.
PAC™-R is a filtration control additive that provides filtration control in most water-based drilling fluids.
HDD Lost Circulation Materials
HDD Lost Circulation Materials prevent the loss of drilling fluids into porous formations and fractures. By using effective lost circulation materials, HDD operators can reduce the risk of costly and time-consuming drilling fluid losses, maintain borehole stability, and increase drilling performance.
Cebo F-SEAL is an acid-soluble, fibrous lost circulation material, composed of synthetic resin-bound stone wool. Cebo F-SEAL is used as an additive for preventing and resolving loss of circulation in concentrations of up to 20 kg/m³.
The product’s fibrous composition builds a structure against high-permeable formations on which a Bentonite fluid can create a filter cake; this effectively prevents drilling fluids from seeping into the surrounding formation. Cebo F-SEAL is an inorganic, non-fermenting product and can be easily mixed.
HDD Lubricants
HDD Lubricants reduce the friction and wear between the drill bit and the borehole, which can lead to decreased drilling performance and equipment damage. The use of effective lubricants can help extend the life of the drilling equipment, improve drilling efficiency, and reduce downtime.
Cebo Tunnel-Lube is a torque reducer that helps to provide friction reduction and improve lubrication characteristics of water-based drilling fluids.
