Tiger Fluids Online Mud School

Tiger Fluids offers an Online Mud School that allows anyone, ranging from drillers to geologists and mining professionals, to learn the basics of mud anywhere, anytime.

We developed this innovative concept because we found that on-site mud schools are disruptive to the drilling programme. Having an online mud school available to them at all times gives drillers the opportunity to learn at their own pace without disrupting on-site operations. The course can be completed in an hour or two, while in the office or on even on break.

New drilling services
Supported by decades of industry experience, our vision is to offer customers drilling solutions that will enhance and grow their business. To fulfil this, Tiger Fluids launched four new services complementing our drilling fluids. As a result, our clients can benefit from our vast industry network and know-how.

Success stories

Equipment sourcing
One of our clients was urgently in need of non-rotating cement plugs, with their rig on standby without them. Using our supplier contacts, we were able to find what the client needed, saving them thousands of dollars on downtime.

Equipment sale facilitation
A customer was struggling to sell a compressor and drilling rig, having neither the time nor connections to find a buyer. Tiger was able to find an interested party for both pieces of equipment within a few weeks using our extensive drilling company network. The parts were sold and the customer was happy with the results.

Equipment hire
We can now hire out annular diverters, which are a requirement on some drilling operations. We have leased out units to our customers, making Tiger Fluids a convenient and hassle-free one-stop shop for mud and equipment.

Digital marketing
An existing client had recently lost business to a competitor because they didn’t have an online presence. Within a few short weeks, we had their website up and running. Since then, the client has won new contracts and found new team members via the website.

At Tiger Fluids, we aim to deliver real results to our customers, by providing:
