4 - It'sthe mechanism that counts SEDIMENTATIONAND HIGH VISCOSITY FLUIDS BENTONIL cross links, trapping the cuttings and removing them Cuttings that sink down in the drilling fluid cause many HDD operations to fail, Drilling fluids that only show high viscosity and have poor carrying capacity cannot prevent sedimentation in the borehole Also they do little to stabilize the wall of the borehole because they do not penetrate very weil into the soil BENTONIL HAS A CLEVER SOL-GEL MECHANISM Süd-Chemie has developed the fast sol-gel mechanism for drilling fluids to help you improve your drilling results '\'<"-- )/I\I 1'\ 0 :' -""" -7"""'" / ; \ ",', -, 1'--'-:;' /\i I -/\ -, \ II '\'Z! - '\ >,, BENTONIL during mixing or pumping - liquid sol state because the crystal wafers do not cross-link BENTONIL at restsemisolid gel state because the crystal wafers cross-link Viscosity Shearing OFF Shearing ON BENTONIL reacts in fractions of a second, changing from a liquid sol to a gel that carries and supports Standard fluids are much more sluggish and do not have this mechanism time Imin I Semifluid gel state (at rest, in zones with little motion) Liquid sol state (shaking, mixing, pumping) BENTONIL - MORE SOPHISTICATED IN EVERY RESPECT [ -] Normal drilling fluids generate a parabolic flow profile Flow rates are low at the edges and high in the middle This results in a shear gradient There is little motion at the edges and the walls are unstable There is no gel in the middle, carrying capacity is low and heavy sedimentation occurs 'i!j1!!jj81 BENTONIL flows through the - u -:-"::::: A --;:-::::,-' boreholewltha rectangularprofile (plug flow) in three zones The liquid sol penetrates into the soil, comes to rest and solidifies to a gel, blocking in the soil particles and stabilizing the wall Everywhere in the borehole, BENTONIL remains 'fjh:;' J a gel without shear gradient and develops its maximum carrying capacity In between, BENTONIL acts as a lubricating film The gel slug and the cuttings slide smooth- Iy along the film out of the borehole

6 c [-] Normal fluids without the sol-gel mechanism create problems during separation of cuttings As a result, the separation process requires costly equipment, and it is both inefficient and time consuming [ +] BENTONIL with its sol-gel mechanism makes separation of cuttings child's play [E ffective recycling] [Prevent wear] [ -] Normal drillingfluids contain a high amount of abrasivessuch as quartz ( < 63 IJm)This results in equipment wear, downtime and high cost [ +] BENTONILis largelyfree of abrasivesubstances The result is uninterrupted drilling and cost savings resultingfrom Iongerservice life [Short mi BENTONIL - the drilling fluid that gives you bett er HDD results Viscosity BENTONI Mixing ation and frictionj [ +] BENTONIL delivers clean boreholes This results in problem-free reaming and pulling even if you are using small rigs [You need to reduce pump I [ -] Drilling fluids that give you nothing other than high viscosity require high pressure to force them thcouh the rod assembly, the nozzles and th6' <itfj 01eJ fi> a result, you run the risk 0 H of flushing performance a the surface
