Drilling Bentonite (API)

The most common use of bentonite is in drilling fluids. The bentonite in the flush fluid lubricates and cools the cutting tools while protecting against corrosion. As the drilling fluid generates hydrostatic pressure in the borehole, it hinders fluid and gas penetration. Bentonite API Grade is used to increase viscosity and reduce fluid‐loss in water‐base drilling fluids. It is a cost‐effective means of achieving viscosity, fluid‐loss control and filter‐cake quality in freshwater and seawater mud. 

Advantages

    Hydrates more than other types of clays and is best for generating viscosity, developing gels for  suspension and controlling filtration  Small particle size, unique flat shape and high surface area of hydrated Bentonite viscosifier  provides superior filtration characteristics Promotes the deposition of thin, compressible filter cakes in the wellbore
