Case Study - 30% improvement in rig productivity
M-I SWACO are the world’s leading drilling fluids and we receive reports again and again that the products are resulting in reduced torque, increased metres per day and improvement in rig productivity. Many of the rigs using M-I SWACO are able to reach depths not achieved before, as is the situation in the following case study:Location: Northern Goldfields
Conditions: Fractured ground characterised by shear and suck zones
Mud Program: DRILPLEX HDDTM
Comparison: Two diamond core drilling rigs, one using drilling fluids by M-I SWACO, the other using a competing product. Both rigs started drilling simultaneously.
Result: The rig using the competitors product dropped out, having failed to reach the target whilst the rig using M-I SWACO fluids completed the hole to target depth.
Other highlights:
- The rig using drilling fluids by M-I SWACO was successful in reaching a depth not achieved before in the area
- Unforeseen ore body found
- Core loss was prevented
- Reduced cementation procedures
- Production rates increased by 30%
- Greater hole stability
- Improved fluid carrying and lubricating capability
