⛽ High-Performance Bentonite for Oil & Gas Drilling
In oil and gas drilling operations, bentonite is used as a vital component of drilling fluids (mud). It helps with borehole stabilization, cooling and lubricating the drill bit, transporting cuttings to the surface, and forming a thin, low-permeability filter cake on borehole walls.Zandora International Trading Co. supplies high-grade sodium bentonite for onshore and offshore drilling operations, optimized for demanding industrial conditions.
✅ Functions of Bentonite in Drilling Mud
Viscosity Enhancement: Helps suspend cuttings and improves carrying capacity.
Filtration Control: Forms a filter cake to reduce fluid loss.
Wellbore Stabilization: Prevents collapse and maintains wall integrity.
Cooling & Lubrication: Reduces friction and heat around the drill bit.
Pressure Control: Aids in maintaining hydrostatic pressure in the well.
