Water Based Drilling Fluid Systems Applications & Mixing

Mixing Procedure: Fill the tank with the required amount of freshwater. Add 0.25 ppb Soda Ash to reduce the water hardness for optimum gel hydration. Add 40 ppb Bentonite and leave to hydrate (around six hours). Transfer required volume to a separate tank and cut back to 30 ppb Gel with seawater. Add 1 ppb Lime to flocculate the Bentonite slurry.
