About this document
Aluminum Chemistry Enhances Shale Stability by Yracema Ochoa Gutierrez is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the development of a new generation of aluminum complexes for use in water-based drilling fluids. These complexes help stabilize shale by inhibiting the hydration of clay particles. Laboratory tests showed the complexes reduced clay dispersion and prevented viscosity increases when clay hydrated. The complexes interact with clay surfaces to decrease the clay
