Bentonite drilling fluid is mixed with water to form a slurry that lubricates and cools the drill bit, carries cuttings to the surface, and forms a filter cake that stabilizes the borehole wall and prevents fluid loss into the formation.
The quality of the bentonite clay for drilling directly determines viscosity control, fluid-loss performance, and how well the borehole holds up under pressure.
