Bentonite Application in oil and gas drilling

Bentonite Application in oil and gas drilling

Bentonite has a high degree of silane and is relatively slippery, so due to its use in the borehole, drilling machines can be used more easily. Bentonite containing sodium is used when the purpose of oil and gas drilling is in the petrochemical field. When bentonite is combined with water, the sodium in bentonite becomes a suspension and colloidal state and leads to the release of electrical energy accumulated in the crystalline network. These cells swell due to water absorption and can perform better Show the title of drilling flower. This feature is used in drilling to disperse heavy materials. As a result, bentonite can create a barrier on the borehole walls and prevent oil and gas leakage by creating hydrostatic pressure. As a result, in presence of bentonite the wall of the well becomes more stable and the penetration of the drill will be easier.
