Whether you're drilling in a new water line under a golf course club house, fiber optics under a highway, or utilities under a housing addition; Ditch Witch®lined drill pipe can help you get the job done with less fluid, less mess and less time.
You'll use less drilling fluid on the job because the Ditch Witch-exclusive, patented Fluid Miser®II lining functionally reduces the inside diameter of the pipe—and the amount of fluid it takes to fill the drill string—by up to 66 percent., The money you save from less water to haul, and purchasing fewer drilling fluid additives becomes significantover the life of that rack of pipe. And less drilling fluid means both less time to pressure up the drill string and less clean-up, saving you both time and money.
Fluid Miser II also works hard to shield the investment you have already made in drill pipe, downhole tools, and equipment because the lining actually protects the interior of the pipe, reducing rust scaling and extending the life of each joint of pipe. The reduced fluid volume not only minimizes the chance of high-volume mud plugging up nozzles in bits and backreamers, it also reduces the wear on your fluid pump, because it pumps significantly less fluid over time.
When you add up the savings on time, money and clean up, drilling with Ditch Witch lined drill pipe is a win-win-win situation.
