CETCO Bentonite

Horizontal Directional Drilling Fluid
HYDRAUL-EZ is a high-yield, 230 bbl yield (minimum), 200 mesh sodium bentonite, with a special dry polymer additive. This new improved formula is designed to maintain borehole integrity in horizontally drilled boreholes. HYDRAUL-EZ is certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 60, Drinking Water Treatment Chemicals – Health Effects.

Drilling Lubricant
CETCO X-TORQUE is a 100% environmentally safe, non-petroleum lubricant specifically developed for horizontal directional drilling and mineral exploration, as well as other drilling applications. CETCO X-TORQUE attracts to metal surfaces such as drill pipe and downhole tooling to provide lubrication between these surfaces and the formation. CETCO X-TORQUE will dramatically reduce clay balling as well as rotational torque. CETCO X-TORQUE is especially beneficial in slimhole applications.

Hole Abandonment Material
Puregold Medium Chips, consisting of natural sodium bentonite sized at 1/4″ – 3/8″, offer a specialized solution for sealing and decommissioning applications. With NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 60 certification, they are safe for use in drinking water treatment processes.

Extreme Solids Suspension Fluid
HERCUL-EZ is a proprietary additive that is used in conjunction with bentonite based drilling muds. With proper formulation, the system will produce a unique drilling fluid with excellent shear thinning characteristics. At low shear or at rest, the fluid will gel and allow for suspension of large cuttings, yet thins immediately under pumping conditions. At rest, HERCUL-EZ fluid looks and behaves like a semisolid, but when sheared, even slightly, will revert back to a thin, almost water-like consistency. HERCUL-EZ is designed to be compatible with CETCO bentonite-based drilling fluids. HERCUL-EZ is NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 60, Drinking Water Treatment Chemicals

30-50 Mesh Granular Bentonite
CS Granular, a high-quality product from the bentonite range, stands out for its exceptional sealing properties. Composed of polymer-free, dried bentonite in various mesh sizes, this granular bentonite is versatile and highly effective. Its certification to NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 60 attests to its suitability for drinking water treatment applications, ensuring it meets rigorous health and safety standards.

Drilling Detergent/Wetting Agent
DRILL-TERGE is a liquid solution of nonionic surfactants formulated to increase detergency and wetting properties of drilling fluids. Designed to control interfacial tension and inhibit the hydration and dispersion of clay and shale.

Sodium Carbonate-Dense
SODA ASH is the common name for sodium carbonate, which separates calcium into sodium and carbonate ions in solution. SODA ASH is certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 60, Drinking Water Treatment Chemicals – Health Effects. SODA ASH is used to raise the pH of make-up water for bentonite and polymer drilling fluids by precipitating soluble calcium. Using SODA ASH will increase the performance of bentonite and polymer drilling fluids.
