A Perfect Drilling Fluid Formulation plays a major role in the successful execution of any Horizontal Drilling Operation.
It is imperative to establish an appropriate Mud program before commencement of drilling. The Mud Program shall take into consideration the type of Ground conditions and the equipment setup.
During the drilling operation itself, the Mud Properties should be constantly monitored.
Modifications to the mix design & drilling fluid properties to be carried out as needed to optimize performance or counter any unforeseen situations such as lost circulation, severe torque and drag etc.
To ensure the success of a MicroTunnelling –Pipejacking Operation, a carefully selected appropriate Drilling Fluid Formulation is necessary that should be able to overcome the frictional resistance induced during the jacking of the pipes in the ground.
When excavating through unstable formations, a suitable mud must be formulated to achieve an efficient face support and help the excavation, as well as easing the removal of excavated cuttings.
The Selection of an optimal Fluid Formulation in Special Foundation works depends on factors such as Type of Excavation: Bored Piles, D-Walls / Cut-Off Walls etc. in addition to the Ground Conditions & the Equipment being used for the purpose.
