ON DEMAND - In this on demand webinar, the mud recycling experts from Vermeer, who have worked with pipeline contractors around the world to establish effective drilling fluid management plans, will provide a detailed overview of reclaimer equipment and discuss mud recycling trends happening right now in the oil and gas industry, as well as other significant markets for large-diameter HDD contractors.
An important part of any good drilling fluid management plan is a reclaimer that mixes drilling fluid additives and recycles the mud as it returns from down the borehole so it can be used again.
Long-distance and large-diameter bores are crucial to pipeline construction projects. A challenging bore's success depends on having the right mixture of drilling fluids from cutting a hole, reaming and pulling back product. An adequate fluid management plan that involves separating solids and recycling fluids can help optimise a drilling crew’s productivity while maximising drilling additive and water usage.
In this on demand webinar, the mud recycling experts at Vermeer will discuss:
- Market trends related to implementing and using reclaimers on large-diameter horizontal directional drilling (HDD) projects.
- How reclaimers work and when crews should employ them.
- The mud mixing and recycling process.
- How sand content can impact the effectiveness of drilling fluids and lead to premature equipment wear.
- Choosing the right-sized reclaimer for a company’s drill and mud pump.
- Ways to maximise the operational equipment investment.
