Synopsis

Clay Science in Drilling and Drilling Fluids starts from the fundamentals of clay science and drilling and then comprehensively presents the advances of clay science related to drilling, drilling fluids, and 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 related fields. This book covers the different levels of clay science in drilling and drilling fluids, i.e., from fundamentals to the latest research results, applications, and commercial products.

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 that speak to these challenges.

• 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

From the Back Cover

Clay Science in Drilling and Drilling Fluids starts with the fundamentals of clay science and drilling, then comprehensively presents the advances of clay science related to drilling and drilling fluids, and concludes with a 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 related fields.

Oil and gas remain society’s primary sources of energy for the foreseeable future. However, extracting these resources involves a variety of drilling challenges, including high temperature and high pressure, offshore drilling, high-angle drilling, and even horizontal drilling. 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 important components of drilling fluids and have a significant impact on wellbore stability, drilling efficiency, safety, and costs. This book encompasses various aspects of clay science relating to the drilling process and the use of drilling fluids. This includes a comprehensive examination of the fundamental principles, recent research findings, practical applications, and commercially available products in this field.
