BARO-GEL™

BARO-GEL Viscosifier, is an easy-to-mix, finely ground (200 mesh), specially selected sodium activated bentonite for the vertical drilling industry. BARO-GEL viscosifier imparts viscosity, fluid loss control, and gelling characteristics to freshwater-based drilling fluids.

Applications and Functions

Mix with fresh water to form a low-solids drilling fluid for general drilling applications
Viscosify water-based drilling fluids
Reduce filtration by forming a thin filter cake with low permeability
Improve hole-cleaning capability of drilling fluids

Advantages

Single sack product and cost-effective
Can provide lubricity for drilling fluids
Can mix easily and quickly reaches maximum viscosity
Can yield more than twice as much drilling fluid of the same viscosity as an equal concentration of an API oilfield grade bentonite.
