This air drilling system combines the use of Supra Foam, a polymer drilling foam, and Super Mud, a polymer slurry drilling fluid, which allows air drilling of larger diameter, deeper holes with less air than before. Lower air consumption compared to straight air or other foam systems, equipment and fuel costs are greatly reduced and well yields are increased by up to 50%. This system can be used to drill both unconsolidated and consolidated formations. It works on the principle of using the compressor and foam in lieu of using a mud pump and fluid on a fluid drilling rig. In this system, the low volume of air, Supra Foam and Super Mud continually provides lubrication, cutting removal, and side wall stability for fast and efficient drilling.
