Pure-Bore® drilling fluids reduce the carbon footprint of drilling activities by minimising product consumption, reducing cuttings waste volume and increasing water recycling. Pure-Bore® product solutions provide a combination of viscosity for superior hole cleaning and ROP, combined with encapsulation and borehole stabilisation for optimum data generation and core recovery. Bio-degradable Pure-Bore® products substitute for large volumes of mineral products and synthetic polymers which are prevented from environmental release or landfill accumulation. The water table is protected by Pure-Bore® as one of a small number of products allowed to be in contact with drinking water sources in the UK and EU. With de-watering and screening solids control equipment, re-use efficiencies of up to 75% have been achieved on land wells in mainland Europe. In near shore and offshore applications, Pure-Bore® based PLONOR product solutions replace the functional use of mined mineral products. This reduces the volume of cuttings pile plumes which can impact on the habitat of fragile seabed fauna.
