- Cuttings removal and suspension during drilling pauses
- Formation sealing to prevent fluid loss
- Lubrication of drilling equipment
- Control of formation pressures
Water Well Drilling
For water well construction, our granules are used to:
- Create effective sealing around well casings
- Prevent cross-contamination between aquifers
- Stabilize borehole walls during drilling
- Provide temporary plugging for zone isolation
Geotechnical Drilling Applications
- Soil stabilization during sampling
- Maintaining hole integrity in unstable formations
- Creating temporary seals for instrumentation installation
