Drilling fluid mixing systems
Having the right drilling fluid is a great starting point. You need the right mixing systems to effectively and efficiently mix and yield your drilling fluid. A good mixing system will ensure you are able to get the best out of your drilling fluid.
The rig manufacturers have always been under competitive pressure to keep the costs of their rig down. This has often led to them providing a pump, venturi and mixing system that are not capable of delivering the full capability of their rig.
Tim bought a tank. It takes him no time at all to mix 3500L of mud.
Clay didn’t buy a tank. He's still mixing mud.
Be like Tim.

Supplier case study
Drillco wanted to exceed their customers expectations on a project timeline. They chose a twin 1000 gallon tank set up, in tandem with a Straightline mixing system. This enabled them to continuously pump 150LPM to the drill, while building the next batch of fluid.
Always looking for a professional edge; Drillco can now work continuously. They never stop to build more mud, creating a faster workflow, with more pipe in the ground.
