Clay Adjustment
Detergent
Bore cleaning agent — removes clay build-up from tooling and bore walls.
Detergent is a surfactant-based cleaning agent designed to remove clay build-up from drill string, tooling, and bore walls. It reduces surface tension, allowing drilling fluid to penetrate and lift clay deposits more effectively.
Commonly used in sticky clay HDD applications where clean tooling is critical for maintaining penetration rates and preventing stuck pipe situations.
