Directional Drilling Fluids 

HDD Drilling Fluids  : 

GDFCL is the leader in the manufacture and Supply of the complete range of HDD , Directional Drilling , Horizontal Drilling Fluids and Additives , GDFCL designs and manufactures a complete range of HDD Drilling Fluids and Serves at a Single Source of drilling fluids and Chemicals for your Horizontal Directional Drilling Operations . Our HDD Fluids and Additives are Designed and Modified specifically to meet the most Stringent Environmental needs and performance and ease of Usage .

Drilling Fluids are the most Critical for the succes of HDD and any trenchless Drilling project  and often over looked . GDFCL provides complete Drilling fluids and additive  solutions  for all your HDD needs by providing the right products to eliminate most Problems to make sure your HDD projects run smoothly 

The selection of the Right Drilling Fluids and their performance is most Critical for  the succes of any HDD / Tunnelling /Trenchless Drilling project . Incorrect selection can lead to increase in costs and time due to Frack-outs or borehole collapse 

The Most Important Functions of the HDD Drilling Fluids are 

• Lubricating and Cooling the Drilling Head :the Drilling Head generates a large amount of Heat with the friction between the Drill head and the Rocks or the clay Formation, the presence of an Effective Drilling Mud Lubricant reduces the Friction increases the  Drilling Head Life and reduces the head generated at the cutting edge 
• Suspending the cuttings and cutting removal from the Borehole : Cutting removal is a Important part of the HDD Operation and a Drilling Fluid that aids the suspension of the Drilling Cuttings is most Critical for the Operation . Each type of Soil requires specific Drilling Fluid Properties  such as  Viscosity  and Gel Strength and cutting carrying capacity
• Stabilizing the Borehole and wellbore Strengtheners  : Borehole stabilization or Wellbore Strengthening and sealing  are the most Critical and yet the most overlooked area in HDD . A well designed  Shale Stabilizer to to strengthen the Walls of the borehole and reduce the fluid loss. Any frac-out or borehole collapse can Shut Down a HDD project till the borehole integrity can be established  thus wasting time and increasing costs 

Our range of Products Include 

Bentonite and Clay : Due to its high swelling with water, Providing viscosity and Fluids Loss Bentonite is the Preferred Mud Used for Directional Drilling and forms the Base Mud to which additives are added to achieve the desired Rheological Properties 
GDFCL  manufactures and supplies a Range of  High performance Bentonites specially Designed High Yield  Bentonite , High Encapsulation Bentonites , High Viscosity Bentonites.  GDFCL research team  has also Developed Single sack Bentonite Systems for easy Usage and cost and Reduced Down Time 

Our Range of GLO BORE BEN  Products are  High Performance Bentonites Formulated and manufactured  for HDD  and Tunneling Piling and Construction  applications
