Services
NorthStar Fluid Solutions provide fluid and fluid waste
management services for your project. During the project bidding
process, we work with our customers to determine the amount and
type of product required, based on geology, rig capability and
environmental regulations.
A fluids program is generated to streamline drilling fluid
performance once the project starts.
Fluid Programs
NorthStar Fluid Solutions provides a custom engineered
drilling fluids program to all clients. We offer Fluid Programs for Big
Rig HDD, Light Rig HDD, Tunneling and Foundation Drilling. Our
technical team can develop a fluid program for any project, adressing challenges and offering
solutions.
EDFPs (Engineered Drilling Fluid Programs) are an integral part of the planning and bidding
process. These programs give accurate estimates of the expected fluid volumes, geological
conditions and product amounts required. This allows both owners and clients to prepare
accordingly. The geology of the area will determine the composition of the system and eliminate
any unnecessary additive further reducing the cost. During the geotechnical analysis, possible
problem zones can be identified and a plan can be put into action sooner rather than later.
Along with the volumes, products and geotechnical analysis, a guide is developed to assist crews
with mix ratios, recommended advancement rates and solutions for unexpected problems. This
reduces errors and down time.
Products
NorthStar Fluid Solutions products are developed to provide the
best value and ease of use for our customers. Our philosophy is
that a project should not require so many products in the fluids
formulation that it becomes confusing or costly. We will not
recommend complicated product combinations – only exactly what
you need to get the job done on time and on budget.
From dry and readily dispersible products to more concentrated
liquid products, our technical services department works hard to keep things
simple and efficient. Our products are designed to provide the
highest value drilling, boring, and coring projects.
