1. A method of fluid drilling, comprising the steps of:

  • mixing seeds with gel wherein the mixture comprises at least one of solid and semisolid particles and non-Newtonian fluids with at least one part by volume to three parts by volume of said at least one of solid and semisolid particles to one part of said non-Newtonian fluids;

    conveying said mixture to a nozzle with an auger having threads separated by grooves in a helical path with the upper surfaces of the edges of the auger being no more than one-fifth the distance between threads and no more than one-fifth the depth of the grooves, whereby a substantial amount of gel is moved with respect to surface area of the gel contacting surface areas of the grooves.
