A versatile new product from DrillCool, the Geo-Chiller is perfect for Arctic Drilling and SAGD applications. The Geo-Chiller not only stabilizes the wellbore and drilling rig, but also stabilizes the permafrost, to ensure that drilling is performed on solid arctic formations. In SAGD applications, Geo-Chilled drilling fluid allows the bitumen formation to remain intact during drilling operations, thus minimizing wellbore instability.

Ideal in Arctic Drilling and SAGD applications, the Geo-Chiller offers easy installation, full temperature control, satellite communications, easy operation interface, opportunity to stabilize the well bore, modular design, the ability to set up near active tanks, and is environmentally safe.

Geo-Chiller in Arctic Drilling Applications

SAGD Applications

 
Geo-Chilling the drilling fluid allows the bitumen formation to remain intact during drilling operations, thus minimizing wellbore instability.

 
Heat induced by drilling operations is transferred directly into the bitumen formation. The heated formation becomes unstable in problematic wellbore and drilling operations.
