Horizontal Directional Drilling
NorthStar’s fluid programs for HDD provide drilling contractors, stakeholders and pipeline owners with an accurate estimate of fluid volumes, additive amounts, based on a detailed geological analysis of the proposed bore path. Each EDFP is tailored to meet the specific challenges of each crossing.
Engineered Drilling Fluid Programs
Our engineered drilling fluid programs are designed with large sized rigs (>100K lbs) in mind. EDFP programs are developed by NorthStar’s expert technical team. These programs give a comprehensive breakdown of fluid properties, rates of penetration, volumes and fluid compositions. These recommendations are based on a detailed geotechnical analysis of the proposed bore path and surrounding geology. Our EDFPs contain troubleshooting sections, a geological walkthrough of the bore path and an application guide to help crews create and maintain the fluid system. NorthStar’s technical team will identify and provide solutions for any possible problems, saving crews and operators time and money.
