Bentonite for Drilling: The Key to Effective Drilling Operations

When using bentonite for drilling, it's important to prepare the slurry properly. The basic process involves mixing the bentonite with water to form a thick, paste-like consistency. The ratio of bentonite to water will depend on the specific drilling conditions and requirements of the project. Typically, the slurry should have a viscosity that is high enough to provide adequate stabilization but not so thick that it hinders the flow of water and cuttings.
