The role of drilling mud additives

Drilling mud additives refer to organic inorganic substances with stable chemical physical properties that are added to drilling mud to improve mud properties, improve drilling efficiency, improve wellbore stability, reduce drilling accidents. These additives can effectively improve the performance of drilling mud, including rheology, filtration, density, stability, lubricity, etc., thereby ensuring the smooth progress of drilling operations.

These additives can effectively improve the performance of drilling mud, including rheology, filtration, density, stability, lubricity, etc., thereby ensuring the smooth progress of drilling operations. Sedimentation agent is a drilling mud additive that causes suspended particles in the mud to settle by adding a component, thereby causing the mud to layer. This can help control the stability of the wellbore, allowing the drill bit to smoothly pass through the next layer of rock, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the drilling operation. Precipitators can usually choose inorganic salts such as manganese iron silicate, as well as polymer based components.

       Viscosity control agent is an auxiliary agent that helps control the rheological properties of drilling mud. It can help reduce the viscosity of the mud, allowing the drill bit to proceed more smoothly with the next drilling step. Viscosity control agents typically include components such as polymers emulsifiers.

      Filter agent is an auxiliary agent that helps control the filterability of drilling mud. These additives can effectively control the size distribution of particles in the mud, enabling it to better filter lubricating oil other chemical components. Filter agents typically include components of orthosilicate other inorganic salts.

Stabilizer Stabilizer is an auxiliary agent that helps control the stability of drilling mud. These additives can enhance the structure bonding ability of the mud, thereby making it better resistant to collapse loss. Stabilizers typically include phosphates other polymeric components.

      Density agent is an auxiliary agent that helps control the density of drilling mud. These additives can increase the density of the mud in order to better resist the pressure of groundwater level sediment. Density agents typically include carbonate, iron, barium, other orthosilicate components.

       Lubricant is an auxiliary agent that helps control the lubricity of drilling mud. These additives can reduce the friction between the drill bit the drilling pipe, thereby reducing the wear of the drill bit improving drilling efficiency. Lubricants usually include polymers, polyvinyl alcohol, oxidized wax Petroleum ether.
