Engineering Services

Pre-bore consultations:

• DCS engineers will examine geotechnical reports, and all technical documents related to the HDD bore and make recommendations for the best drilling program

Preparation of drilling fluid programs based on geotechnical reports or from the experiences of DCS mud engineers for the drilling location:

• Recommendations for drilling fluid additives that can control the expected ground conditions 
• The drilling fluids program can be tailored to your specific requirements to include pilot bore information, reamer stages, pump rates and volumes, etc.
• Estimates for additive percentages, usage volumes and cost projections can also be presented

Annular pressure calculations for the specific proposed bore profile in the bid package:

• Anticipated AP calculations will detail pressure changes per 100 feet based on bore and drill pipe size, mud properties and pump rates
• This information is highly accurate and can be very beneficial for bore planning and to the operator during the drilling process
