Drilling Fluids Play Critical Role in North Carolina Power Installation
Trenchless Technology
QUIK-BORE, a new drilling fluid solution from Baroid Industrial Drilling Products, was recently applied in the installation of power lines in North Carolina. QUIK-BORE is a specially formulated bentonite based drilling fluid system designed to readily disperse, provide suspension, and maintain low fluid loss for horizontal drilling applications. It is particularly suitable for small diameter, short length bores.

QUIK-BORE is a specially formulated bentonite based drilling fluid system designed to readily disperse, provide suspension, and maintain low fluid loss for horizontal drilling applications. It is particularly suitable for small diameter, short length bores.
In Morehead City, North Carolina, power line installations were completed using a QUIK-BORE based drilling fluid. Four 4” pilot holes, 200 – 400 feet in length, were drilled and then reamed to 6” (with a fluted reamer) to install 4” power lines. Although the drilling and installation method for each bore was consistent, the subsurface conditions were not. The first bore was comprised of beach sand, the second a silt, sand, clay mixture, and the third and fourth were primarily clay with interspersed silt and sand. As a result, the drilling fluid was adapted to soil conditions. The base fluid, QUIK-BORE, remained the same with polymers added as needed.
