Drilling Bentonite

Bentonite is a type of clay that is composed of volcanic ash. It is used in various industries such as drilling mud, pet waste absorbent, foundry sand bond, and iron ore pelletizing applications. Bentonites contain a variety of accessory minerals in addition to montmorillonite such as quartz, feldspar, calcite and gypsum. The presence of these minerals could impact the industrial value of the deposit, reducing or increasing its value depending on the application. There are different grades of bentonite such as sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite. Sodium bentonite is used for drilling muds, pet waste absorbents, and iron ore pelletizing applications. Calcium bentonite is used for foundry sand bond applications. TAP GROUP can source Sodium Bentonite for your drilling needs.

Water Well Drilling Bentonite: Description & Applications Water well drilling bentonite is used in mud rotary drilling. It's unique properties make it an important component of the drilling process. Bentonite forms the mud used by the drillers to lubricate the bit, remove cuttings from the borehole, and keep the sides of the borehole from caving in. Provides quick viscosity and lubrication. Reduces fluid loss during excavations. Deposits thin filter cake on bore walls to improve borehole stability Aids hole cleaning Environmentally safe

Indias One Of The Largest Bentonite Mines Owner, Processor And Exporter. We are exporting super premium quality Bentonite at competitive prices with prompt shipments. We provide all types of packing with customized printing options. Bentonite finds its application in the areas of oil drilling as mud constituent. Its primary role is to seal and prevent the entry of formation fluids into the hole and reduction of friction of drill string against the drill hole while cooling and cleaning the bit. It also removes drill cuttings and lubricates the cutting head. Due to the special higher mud yield, less quantity of Bentonite is consumed for the same standard mud. Why CMS INDUSTIES? CMS INDUSTRIESâ??s drilling grade bentonite has the ability to mix instantaneously and smoothly while holding cuttings and quickly cooling the cutting tools. It lubricates effectively and exhibit buoyancy while resisting against contaminated water, although providing thin yet strong wall to wall formation. It also provides protection to drill bits by cooling and able to deliver high barrel yield. CMS Drill grade Bentonite reduces loss of drilling fluids with the capability of tolerating formation pressure. Only 3% to 5% of mineral has the ability to develop 15 centipoise viscosity while exhibiting thixotropic properties when mixed with brine and high temperature in deep drilling.

API 13A Bentonite for Flush Drilling Fluid 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. stic Viscosity Ratio Residue of diameter greater than 75 Moisture content (%)   12.max pH   8 - 10.5
