Fox Slurry Eductors for oil & gas drilling and exploration
For over thirty years, Fox slurry eductors have been used to create drilling solutions for oil and gas drilling and exploration. These venturi mixers have been widely used both for onshore and off-shore wells. These eductors are commonly used to blend guar and salts into drilling fluids. Fox can provide these slurry eductors with hoppers, on/off valves, and other useful controls.
Hydraulic fracturing – fracking – is a production technique used in tight geologic formations that involves horizontal directional drilling of wells. This process requires the use of water, mixed with sand, chemicals and proppants, that are injected at high pressures to fracture rock and release hydrocarbons. Fox slurry eductors, with no moving parts, are an ideal way to create the water-based muds most commonly used as drilling fluids. Fox slurry eductors can also mix in clays, polymers, and chemical additives. Multiple feeders can simultaneously dose various additives to create the proper drilling solution.
