Oil & Gas Drilling

Hematite

Its major use is as a source of iron for the production of that metal and of steel. Due to its hardness, high natural purity, abundance and low price, hematite has found increasing uses in fields removed from smelting, such as oil and gas production and exploration, as part of drilling fluids.

Barite

The mineral barite (BaSO4) is a common authigenic mineral precipitated within the ephemeral microenvironments of decaying organic material.

Bentonite

Bentonite API consists primarily of the clay mineral Montmorillonite e and is mainly used to improve the viscosity of drilling mud and to stabilize the borehole

Sodium Chloride

Sodium chloride, commonly known as edible salt, is an ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl, representing a 1:1 ratio of sodium and chlorine ions. It is transparent or translucent, brittle, hygroscopic, and occurs as the mineral halite.

Starch

Starch is a carbohydrate and a natural component of most plants, including fruits, vegetables, and grains. Starchy foods are an essential part of a balanced diet, as they provide energy, fiber, and a sense of fullness. The body breaks down starch molecules into glucose, which is the body’s primary fuel source.
