Influence of MgO and CaCl2 on the rheological properties of bentonitic clays from the new Paraíba-Brazil deposits using experimental planning and statistical analysis
Abstract:New deposits of bentonite clays have been discovered in the Brazilian State of Paraíba; the most recent was at the municipality of Olivedos. Recent studies have discovered the presence of high levels of non-clay minerals that can produce unsatisfactory results when attempting to use these clays in drilling fluids. In order to make them suitable for this purpose, the MgO and CaCl 2 as chemical additives were used and their influences on the rheological properties of these clays were analyzed, using an experimen… Show more
