Additives for Drilling Muds

In well drilling or diaphragm wall excavation works, an additive-based fluid is typically used.

The choice of additives for its formulation can indeed influence the progress of a job.

Let’s summarize some of the main functions of the drilling fluid:

• Remove and transport the debris to the surface
• Prevent the sedimentation of suspended debris when the circulation of the mud is stopped
• Cool and lubricate the drilling tools
• Prevent the collapse of the borehole walls
