  • SELECT DRILLING FLUID
    • 1. Determine drilling conditions and choose appropriate drilling fluid mix.
    • 2. Estimate amount of supplies needed and check availability.
    • 3. Check water quality.
• OPERATION
  • Mix Drilling Fluid
    • 1. Ensure valve in suction line and at least one valve on the pressure side of the pump is open.
    • 2. If necessary, choke cold engine.
    • 3. Move throttle to half open.
    • 4. Turn ignition switch to start position and release when engine starts.
    • 5. Open choke after engine is warm.
    • 6. Open tank jet valve (3) and mixing venturi valve (6).
    • 7. Start engine on mixing pump.
    • 8. Partially open dry chemical hopper valve (4). Listen for a noticeable “suction” sound.
    • 9. For dry chemicals, open sack using bag ripper located inside dry chemical hopper and pour chemicals into hopper.
    • 10. Open dry chemical valve (4) slowly.
    • 11. For liquid polymer and other liquid chemicals, pour needed amount of additive into a suitable container, insert wand into container.
    • 12. Open liquid chemical valve (3) slowly.
    • 13. Open fillwell on top of tank and check fluid in tank to ensure that chemicals are mixed correctly.
    • 14. If clumps of chemical or polymer can be seen in fluid tank, reduce the rate at which materials are added.
    • 1. Take a fresh sample from the drilling fluid tank. The sample must be more than 1 qt (.95 L).
    • 2. Hold funnel over 1 qt (.95 L) measuring cup and place a finger over outlet.
    • 3. Pour test sample into top of funnel through screen to ensure no large particles enter the funnel that might alter the measurement. Fill to screen.
    • 4. Remove finger and time flow. Count the number of seconds necessary for 1 qt (.95 L) of fluid to pass through funnel. The number of seconds is the viscosity.
    • 5. Thoroughly rinse measuring cup and Marsh funnel with water.
  • PUMP FLUID TO DRILLING UNIT
    • 1. Connect mixing pump hose to drilling unit.
    • 2. Open discharge valve of mixing pump, adjust engine throttle to full to purge all air from the line when starting drilling flu...
  • DRAIN SYSTEM
    • 1. Pump as much fluid as possible out of tanks.
    • 2. Shut off pumps and open all valves (shown). Disconnect tank jet hose.
    • 3. Lower suction wand to allow fluid to drain from hose and mixing venturi.
    • 4. Allow fluid to drain into suitable containers.
    • 5. Recycle or properly dispose of fluid.
    • 6. If needed, drain any remaining fluid in tank by removing plug on bottom of tank’s suction end.
    • 7. When finished, pull up the ground wire and grounding stake (if used). Store in secure place.
