DESCRIPTION
Matex Sand Drill is a revolutionary drilling additive designed to overcome the challenges posed by overburden, sand, gravel, and cobbles. This unique dry blend of synthetic polymers creates a highly effective drilling fluid that stabilizes even the most difficult formations, ensuring maximum core recovery.
Key Benefits:
Superior Stabilization: Effectively prevents sand shifting and borehole collapse in challenging formations.
Exceptional Core Recovery: Achieves up to 100% core recovery in extreme conditions.
Bentonite-Free Solution: Eliminates the need for Bentonite, reducing disposal issues and transportation costs significantly.
Simplified Drilling: Compatible with TORQUELESS, requiring no complex multi-component mud systems.
Reduced Casing Requirements: Minimizes the need for casing in unconsolidated formations.
Increased Productivity & Profitability: Improves drilling efficiency and reduces operational costs.
Enhanced Borehole Stability: Creates a strong matrix that binds sands and gravels together, stabilizing the borehole and maximizing core recovery.
Suggested Dosage
Matex Sand Drill should always be premixed with TORQUELESS, the recommended ratio is one part Sand Drill to two parts TORQUELESS. The Sand Drill premix is then introduced in the mixing system with water.
The recommended dosage is from;
1-3 liters Sand Drill per 1000 liters of water.
1-3 quarts Sand Drill per 250 gallons of water.
