Blick Mud Schools
We’ve developed specialised and industry specific mud schools for drillers, engineers and consultants.
Tim explains what bentonite clay is
Bentonite is a very reactive clay that shrinks or swells markedly in response to the removal or addition of water.
Bentonite clay
Wyo-Ben premium high-yield Bentonite Clay is used in all drilling applications to build mud viscosity rapidly, provide superior hole cleaning, control lost circulation, and promote hole stability.
The Bentonite range includes Max Gel, Max Bore HDD, Construct Gel, HDD Gel, GTC-4, Bentonite Plug and Kwik-Plug.
Clay stabilisation / inhibition
Blick Fluids and the M-I SWACO suite of clay products are refined for shale/clay stabilisation, friction reduction, and borehole and tooling lubrication.
Swell Stop (Dry), Swell Stop (Liquid), Polyplus and Polyplus RD offer great encapsulation
Clay Dissolve and Ringfree are for breaking down clay issues such as bit balling and mud rings
Clay Control and Kla-gard are for inhibiting reactive / swelling clays
Detergent and Platinum D-D performs as a wetting agent to penetrate and help spread clays
Suspension enhancers
Carry Max and Drilplex are MMO solutions to extend initial gel strengths formed by bentonite.
Carry Flow and Duo-Vis are premium Xanthan Gum with a dispersible coating to make it easier to mix.
These products offer excellent suspension enhancement, carrying capacity and borehole cleaning.
Lubricants
Torque Down and Platinum Rod Ease reduce torque and pullback forces, increase penetration rate, prevent bit balling and inhibit rust on tooling. It’s a superior product for reducing the coefficient of friction, increasing those benefits.
Filtration Control Agents
Filter High, Filter Low, Polypac R and Polypac UL are high-quality powdered filtration control additives.
Lost Circulation & Weighting Materials
Loss Swell, One Stop, Polyswell and Tiger Bullets to seal permeable formations and Barite is used as a weighting material.
Foam
Carry Foam and Platinum Foam Plus have a small, tight bubble formation that provides superior carrying capacity in down-hole drilling operations.
Biocides
Biocide 75 and Nuosept 78 are highly effective biocides for treating bacterial contamination in fluid systems. They are proactively used in fluid systems featuring additives subject to degrading under heat or bacteria environments.
Water Treatment
Soda Ash and Sodium Bicarbonate are affordable products that mix with water to reduce minerals (e.g., calcium) and adjust pH levels. This is the perfect starting point for building an excellent drilling fluid.
