At Petropath, we understand the unique demands of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) projects. Our range of HDD chemicals is specially formulated to enhance efficiency, reduce wear, and ensure environmental safety during drilling operations. Explore our selection below:
1. Bentonite Powder
Bentonite clay is a high-quality drilling mud additive that provides superior lubrication, stabilizes boreholes, and enhances cuttings removal. Ideal for maintaining pressure balance in HDD operations.
Examples: Wyoming Sodium Bentonite, Calcium Bentonite.
2. Polymer Additives
Polymers improve fluid viscosity and strengthen drilling fluid stability. These additives minimize friction, enhance hole cleaning, and improve suspension of cuttings in challenging soil conditions.
Examples: Polyanionic cellulose (PAC), Partially Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide (PHPA), Xanthan Gum.
3. Foaming Agents
Foaming agents reduce fluid loss, lower torque, and provide effective dust control in dry and semi-dry drilling environments. Perfect for HDD projects in sandy or granular formations. Examples: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Alpha Olefin Sulfonate (AOS).
4. Shale Stabilizers
Protect your boreholes with our shale stabilizers. These chemicals prevent shale and clay
swelling, ensuring structural integrity and reducing downtime.
Examples: Potassium Chloride (KCl), Polyamine Shale Inhibitors.
5. Lubricants
High-performance lubricants decrease torque and drag, prolong equipment lifespan, and optimize overall drilling performance, even in high-friction scenarios.
Examples: Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), Ester-Based Lubricants.
6. pH Control Agents
Maintain optimal drilling fluid conditions with our pH control agents. These chemicals ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your HDD fluid system. Examples: Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Hydroxide.
7. Corrosion Inhibitors
Protect your equipment from rust and corrosion with our premium inhibitors, ensuring durability and cost savings for your HDD operations.
Examples: Zinc Carbonate, Amine-Based Inhibitors.
8. Biocides
Prevent microbial growth in your drilling fluids with our biocides, safeguarding against fluid degradation and ensuring system efficiency.
Examples: Glutaraldehyde, Isothiazolinones.
9. Sealants and Thinners
Sealants prevent fluid loss, while thinners help maintain optimal viscosity. Both ensure smoother operations and better control over fluid properties.
Examples: Lignite, Tannins.
