Get PriceWe have discussed the mechanics of how the drilling fluid is circulated during the drilling process but we have not discussed the role of the drilling fluid The term mud is often used in oil and gas well drilling because historically the most common water based drilling fluids were mixtures of water and finely ground bentonite clays which
Get PriceBentonite is a mineral that is commonly used in drilling fluids It prevents water from entering the drilled shaft On the borewall it also forms a solid cake Depending on the ground structure fine particles may be required However because bentonite is well known for its anti corrosive properties this is not unusual
Get PriceBentonite is the first choice viscosifier and the leading purpose of using a viscosifier is to increase its viscosity and gel strength of the drilling fluid Filtration control materials are compounds which reduce the amount of fluid that will be lost into the subsurface formation structure
Get PriceThe most common of these is bentonite frequently referred to in the oilfield as gel Gel likely makes reference to the fact that while the fluid is being pumped it can be very thin and free flowing like chocolate milk though when pumping is stopped the static fluid builds a gel structure that resists flow
Get PriceNa bentonite type is the one used in drilling fluids because it has good dispersion stability high swelling capacity and outstanding rheological properties Ca bentonite generally has bad rheological performance however it can be activated by sodium to be used in drilling fluids since there are huge unutilized Ca… View via Publisher
Get PriceThe most common use of bentonite is in drilling fluids The bentonite in the flush fluid lubricates and cools the cutting tools whilst protecting against corrosion As the drilling fluid generates hydrostatic pressure in the borehole it hinders fluid and gas penetration
Get PriceIt is useful in drilling wells because water mixed with bentonite tends to coat the walls of the hole and keep it from collapsing Drillers call this coating a filter cake When you are using only water as a drilling fluid and you are drilling in sand the walls of the hole will start collapsing as soon as you turn off the water
Get PricePre hydrated bentonite is used as a supplemental viscosifier in freshwater formulations but should be used sparingly in saline environments because of difficulties in controlling rheology According to Chesser 13 this is especially true in KCI/PHPA muds because the flocculation of bentonite by the potassium ion can adversely affect rheological
Get Pricebentonite based drilling fluid is hydrated ex situ and yields prior to commencing directional drilling and bentonite is a component of the directional drilling mud system not the sole component A seal is never formed by bentonite in a horizontal well and in addition Directional Technologies Inc uses a proprietary process to develop
