Bentonite-Based Drilling Mud: The Facts

After advancing the boring, setting the screen/riser and sand pack, the vertical driller usually pours dry bentonite chips or pellets into the annular space between the vertical well and formation. The vertical driller then adds water to hydrate the bentonite, creating a very effective seal as the bentonite swells (or "yields").

Strength, Permeability, and Compatibility of Slag-Cement …

Abstract The use of slag-cement-bentonite (slag-CB) slurry walls in the United Kingdom (UK) is widespread but only recently finding increased use in the United States (US).

Coupled effects of saline solution and vertical stress on …

As for the role of initial vertical stress in swelling defor-mation behavior, Xu et al. (2003) suggested that vertical pressure can reduce the 1D swelling strain of Tsukinuno Na-bentonite/sand mixtures. Sun et al. (2013) also found that the 1D swelling strain of GMZ Na-bentonite/sand mixtures decreases as the initial vertical stress increases.
