TIXOBENT® SERIES
Specialty HDD Bentonite
Our bentonite for HDD is engineered to ensure optimal viscosity, stabilize boreholes, and meet the demands of Horizontal Directional Drilling. Designed for various ground conditions, it offers moderate viscosity, high gel strength, and effective cuttings suspension, minimizing pressure during pumping and ensuring smooth drilling operations.
Optimize Success and Save Costs With HDD Bentonite
Choosing the right drilling fluids is essential for the success of HDD projects. Using the right HDD bentonite tailored to the formation and environmental conditions prevents issues like frac-outs and borehole collapse. Effective HDD drilling fluids feature moderate viscosity, high low-shear-rate viscosity (LSRV), and gel strength to stabilize boreholes, suspend cuttings, and ensure smooth operations. Partnering with our experienced drilling fluid experts ensures efficiency, cost savings, and project success.

Why Choose Bentonite for HDD?
Tested in diverse ground conditions, our specialty HDD bentonite delivers consistent, reliable results, making it the smart choice for cost-effective and hassle-free drilling operations.
01
Moderate ViscosityModerate Viscosity
The moderate viscosity of HDD bentonite ensures the mud can be pumped efficiently through long horizontal distances without causing excessive pressure or wear on equipment.
02
Gel StrengthGel Strength
A specific feature of bentonite for Horizontal Directional Drilling is its ability to suspend cuttings when the operation pauses. The so-called gel-strength prevents cuttings from settling and causing blockages.
03
Improved Fluid Loss ControlImproved Fluid Loss Control
Minimizes the invasion of drilling fluid into surrounding formations, crucial for maintaining borehole stability and preventing environmental contamination.
