Drilling fluid is the operating fluid used in the drilling process. During the drilling process, the drilling fluid plays an important role. People often compare the drilling fluid to "drilling blood". Its function is:
1. Suspend and carry cuttings, clean the bottom of the well.
2. Lubricate and cool the bit, increase the bit footage, and impact the formation through the water hole of the bit, which is conducive to breaking the rock.
3. Form a mud cake to increase the stability of the good wall.
4. Establish a liquid column pressure that can balance the formation pressure.
When using turbodrills, it can be used as a liquid for transmitting power to prevent complex accidents such as jams, collapses, leaks, sprays, etc.
Xanthan gum oil is one of its main components. The function of xanthan gum is to increase viscosity and shear force and improve the suspending ability to drill fluid, which is indispensable for drilling fluid to perform its functions.
