BORE-GEL®
BORE-GEL fluid system is a single sack, boring fluid system specially formulated for use in horizontal directional drilling (HDD) applications. BORE-GEL system is a proprietary blended product using high-quality Wyoming sodium bentonite. When BORE-GEL system is mixed with fresh water, it develops an easy-to-pump slurry with desirable fluid properties for HDD.
- Optimum gel strength for cuttings suspension and transport
- Pumpable slurry with minimal viscosity
- High reactive solids concentration for improved borehole stability in poorly consolidated/cemented sands and gravel formations
- Reduced filtration via a thin filter cake with low permeability
- Lubrication of pipe in microtunneling operations
- NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 60 certified
- Minimizes the number of boring fluid products required
- Easy to mix and fast to yield
- Low viscosity minimizes pump pressures
- Provides lubricity for pulling product line
- Can be used in Water Wells in unconsolidated formations or when additional gel strengths are required to compensate for low annular velocity
