More about the Geo‑Chiller™
The Geo‑Chiller™ is the most robust and reliable industrial drilling fluid chiller available. The Geo‑Chiller™ utilizes a time-proven industrial refrigeration system to reliably cool wellbore drilling fluids. The Geo‑Chiller™ boasts a fully integrated control system with self-diagnostics and satellite communications. The Geo‑Chiller™ is designed to handle any environment from an offshore installation in the Gulf of Mexico to the extreme cold of Northern Alaska.
In Arctic Drilling 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.

Geo‑Chiller™ - with or without?
Arctic Drilling with Temperature Control
Geo‑Chilled casing not only results in more stable wellbore but ensures the stability of the drilling rig and conductor. Geo‑Chilling stabilizes the permafrost alowing drilling to continue into solid formations.
Arctic Drilling without Temperature Control
Drilling without Geo‑Chilled casing will compromise the stability of the drilling rig and surface casing. Heat induced by the drilling operations affects not only surface operations but will result in ubstable wellbore conditions at great depths.
SAGD Applications with Geo‑Chiller™
Geo‑Chilling the drilling fluid allows the bitumen formation to remain intact during drilling operations, thus minimizing wellbore instability, mitigating risks and preventing Non Productive Time.
SAGD without Geo‑Chiller™
Heat induced by drilling operations is transferred directly into the bitumen formation. The heated formation becomes unstable and problematic to wellbore and drilling operations.
