Mud Rotary

One of the most important aspects of mud rotary drilling is the ability to clean and re-circulate the drilling fluid. Our above ground, self contained, fluid cleaning/recirculating systems are designed to remove the suspended solids from the drilling fluid to a level of .25%. Low solids drilling fluids reduce the waste stream generated by mud rotary drilling. Additionally, more efficient wells, requiring less well development can be constructed in mud rotary boreholes where the drilling fluids have been carefully monitored and maintained. Details on the drilling fluids cleaning/solids control equipment are located in the Solids Separation section.
