AUS-GEL is a modified high quality grade sodium Bentonite formulated to ensure ease of mixing with superior mud making qualities in fresh water.
AUS-GEL provides viscosity and gelling to most water based fluids while also contributing to fluid loss control.
AUS-GEL is recommended as a high yielding viscosifier for building a mud system with excellent hole cleaning properties and low filtrate values in fresh to brackish water.
- Helps provide suspension for fluids weighted with barite or hematite.
- Hydrates more than other types of clays and is best for generating viscosity and developing gels for suspension
- .Helps improve hole-cleaning capacity of drilling fluids.
- The small particle size, unique flat shape and high surface area provides superior fluid loss control.
- Promotes hole stability in poorly consolidated formations.
- Promotes the development of thin, compressible filter cakes in the wellbore
