clay stabilizers

Oilfield clay stabilizers are used to prevent clay expansion and dispersion during drilling, thereby improving the performance and stability of the drilling fluids.

The following is a summary of the usage methods and precautions for oilfield clay stabilizers:

1.Choosing a Suitable Clay Stabilizer:

How to choose a suitable clay stabilizer? Beite Chemical will guide you.

Choose a suitable clay stabilizer based on the geological conditions of the oilfield and the properties of the drilling fluid. Options include cationic polymers, inorganic salts (such as KCl), organic cations, etc.

Clay stabilizers come in both solid and liquid forms.

Solid: Solid clay stabilizers should be dissolved in water before use to prepare a solution of a certain concentration.

Liquid: Liquid clay stabilizers can be directly added to the drilling fluid.

2.Determining the Amount of Clay Stabilizer to Add

The optimal amount of clay stabilizer can be determined through laboratory experiments to achieve the best anti-swelling effect.

The amount added is generally adjusted based on factors such as clay content, drilling fluid type, and well depth.
