n: The substance that can increase mud making rate of bentonite.

n: a colloidal clay, composed primarily of montmorillonite, that swells when wet. Because of its gel-forming properties, bentonite is a major component of waterbase drilling muds. See gel, mud.

a reference to colloidal clay (generally montmorillinite or smectite),generates plastic viscosity due to clay behavior, size and electrostatic layer. A slurry of which used for P&A Purposes will weigh no less than 9 ppg.

n pi: a group of polymers that can maintain or increase the viscosity of bentonite while flocculating other clay solids in the mud. With bentonite extenders, desired viscosity can often be maintained using only half the amount of bentonite that would otherwise be required.

n: on a drilling rig, a large metal bin that usually holds a large amount of a certain mud additive, such as bentonite, that is used in large quantities in the makeup of the drilling fluid. Also called a P-tank.

n: A kind of bentonite mainly adsorbing calcium ion.

n: dissolved calcium ions in sufficient concentration to impart undesirable properties, such as flocculation, reduction in yield of bentonite, and increased fluid loss, in a drilling fluid. See also anhydrite, calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate, gypsum, lime.

n: The process that calcium ion enters into the drilling fluid when drilling in the calcareous formation or cement plug.

n pi: a slurry of portland cement and water and sometimes one or more additives that affect either the density of the mixture or its setting time. The portland cement used may be high early strength, common (standard),or slow setting. Additives include accelerators (such as calcium chloride),retarders (such as gypsum),weighting materials (such as barium sulphate),lightweight additives (such as bentonite),or a variety of lost circulation materials (such as mica flakes).

n: The bonding material for cementing.

n: any of several substances - usually organic compounds of high molecular weight-that, when added in low concentrations to a bentonite or to certain other clay slurries, will increase the viscosity of the system. See low-solids mud.

n: The material increasing viscosity by adding into the clay slurry.
