H&F Drilling

Whilst the easiest method of cleaning the drilled cuttings from the borehole is using compressed air, it is not always the most suitable.

Even with down the hole hammers, which can only operate with compressed air (although there is a water powered hammer available), there can often be a requirement to inject drilling fluids to help flush out the cuttings and increase stability of the hole.

Rotary drilling, however, predominantly requires fluids to remove the cuttings, stabilise the borehole wall and maximise bit life by cooling bearings in tricone rock rollers.

The correct selection of a drilling fluid can often mean the difference between success and failure of a project, as the fluid can heavily influence the way the strata behaves and our experience, know-how can ensure you get the best advice.

We also offer the services of a mud engineer to work on site with you when neccessary to help you develop a mud programme and maximise your drilling opeartions.

Not only that, but we run mud schools to train both site operatives and engineers, offering tremnedous benefits to your company.

Our products range from simple foam additives through to complex polymers, so you can rest assured we will have an answer.

Be sure to check back regularly as we are set to launch a range of specially formulated fluids and fluid additives, which come with the H&F pedigree.
