About this webinar

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.
