Mud Rotary Drilling Services

Drilling borings with “mud” is a rotary method using pumped water and/or additives as the circulation medium. The drill bit grinds away the formation and the mud removes the drill cuttings from the boring. The cuttings are separated at the surface from the mud and the mud is recirculated back down into the boring. There are many types of mud rotary drilling techniques, reverse mud drilling and direct mud drilling being the most common with many variations of each. Talon/LPE utilizes direct mud rotary drilling. This technique sends the mud down the center of the drill pipe and out ports in the drill bit forcing the cuttings up the annular space between the borehole wall and the drill pipe.
