Vertical Drilling and deviated wells

To approach «method to drill well» we should distinguish between high depth well and low depth well.
Usually the firsts concern Oil & Gas Well and Geothermal Well research; on the other hand when we speak about low depth drilling we are dealing about Water Well research.
The different high depth drilling need different drilling fluid. No two drilling fluids are the same. Even if the fluids are alike initially, the varying effects of formation substances and surface handing on the circulated fluids introduce differences.
Laviosa has developed a special range of bentonite and products for all drilling fluid applications.

Mineral Exploration

Mineral exploration, such as core boring, requires rapidly hydrating bentonite to ensure: – Stability of the walls of the shaft and facilitate recovery of detritus – Lubrication and easy recovery of drilling equipment – Formation of a high-quality impermeable panel that allows maximum prevention of fluid loss

Oil & Gas & deep geothermal drilling

There are many high-tech methods for both oil & gas exploration and deep geothermal drilling. However, the choice of ingredients used to make up the drilling fluid – generally a mixture based on the customer’s specific requirements – always plays a key role in this activity as its purpose is to ensure the right physical-chemical properties of the fluid used.
