Applications/ Functions

Advantages

QUIK-BORE high-yield boring fluid system is specially formulated for use in horizontal directional drilling (HDD), primarily tunneling and micro-tunneling applications. QUIK-BORE high-yield boring fluid system is a proprietary blended product using Wyoming sodium bentonite.

The use of QUIK-BORE high-yield boring fluid system assists or promotes the following:

 Provides functional gel strength for cuttings suspension
 Improves borehole stability
 Reduces filtration by forming a thin filter cake with low permeability  Lubricates pipe in micro-tunneling operations

 High-yielding and easy to mix
 Helps provide lubrication for pulling product line
 Can be used in unconsolidated formations
 Can provide gel strength to compensate for low annular velocity  Can minimize the number of boring fluid products required
 Disperses readily in water
 Efficiently improves filtration control
 NSF/ANSI Standard 60 certified

 Appearance Variable colored powder (tan to gray)

 Bulk Density, lb/ft3 68 to 72 (compacted)

  •   Ideal make-up water has a total hardness (as calcium) less than 100 ppm (mg/L), chloride content less than 1500 ppm, chlorine content less than 50 ppm, and pH between 8.5 – 9.5.
  •   Pre-treat mixing water with Soda Ash (sodium carbonate), typically 0.5 – 1 pound per 100 gallons (0.6 – 1.2 kg/m3), to reduce total hardness to less than 100 mg/l and raise pH to 8.5-9.5.
