About this ebook

Clay Science in Drilling and Drilling Fluids starts from the fundamentals of clay science and drilling, then comprehensively presents the advances of clay science related to drilling and drilling fluids and ends with discussion of industrial clay products. The topics combine to present the whole picture of fundamental research and industrial applications of clays and clay minerals in drilling operations, which is of general interest to researchers and engineers working in the related fields.Oil and gas are the primary sources of energy in human society and the foundation of the petrochemical industry. However, extracting these resources present a number of drilling challenges, including high temperature and high pressure (HTHP), offshore drilling, high angle drilling, and even horizontal drilling, among others. As a result, it is crucial to develop advanced drilling and drilling fluid technologies. Clay science in drilling and drilling fluids should be clarified for this purpose because clays and clay minerals are one of the most important components of drilling fluids and have a significant impact on wellbore stability. Clay Science in Drilling and Drilling Fluids covers the different levels of clay science in drilling and drilling fluids, i.e., form fundamentals, the latest research results, applications, and commercial products. - Covers the fundamentals of clay minerals, drilling, and drilling operations - Discusses applications of the research and science to real world problems - Introduces available commercial clay products and recommends their use for specific situations
