SUPBENT®LD BENTONITE for water based drilling mud
SUPBENT-LD is a drilling mud, or drilling gel, is a major component in the well drilling process. SUPBENT-LD is crucial in the extraction of drill cuttings during the drilling process. SUPBENT-LD , when mixed with water, forms a fluid (or slurry) that is pumped through the drill stem, and out through the drill bit. SUPBENT-LD extracts the drill cuttings from around the bit, which are then floated to the surface. SUPBENT-LD also serves to cool and lubricate the drill bit as well as seal the drill hole against seepage and to prevent wall.
