ClayBloc in Action: Demonstrating True Clay Stabilization Performance
At AquaSol, we believe high-performance chemistry should be visible, measurable, and trusted in the field. Our ClayBloc product line was developed with one goal in mind: deliver reliable clay stabilization that improves drilling efficiency from the first rotation to final completion.
In the demonstration below, you can see exactly how ClayBloc performs under real-world conditions.
A Clear Difference You Can See
When bentonite encounters untreated water, swelling and sticking happen fast. The mixture thickens, clumps form, and the stirring spoon binds, illustrating the same challenges drillers face downhole, from rising torque to unstable hole cleaning.
ClayBloc changes that.
When added to water at the recommended dosage, our NSF-certified clay stabilizer keeps bentonite from swelling and dispersing. The solution remains smooth, thin, and free-flowing, allowing the spoon to stir effortlessly. This visual result reflects exactly what happens in drilling environments when reactive clays are properly controlled.
Why This Matters Downhole
Clay behavior directly impacts drilling performance. Poor clay stabilization can lead to torque spikes, stuck pipe, inefficient hole cleaning, and costly delays.
ClayBloc is engineered to solve these issues:
- Reduces friction, drag, and torque
- Prevents clay swelling, dispersion, and sticking
- Improves hole cleaning and drilling efficiency
- Stabilizes reactive formations for smoother operation
- Delivers environmentally safe performance and NSF certification
The same smooth, stable behavior you see in the demo translates to real improvements in field performance.
Reliable Chemistry, Consistent Results
ClayBloc delivers dependable performance in bentonite-based drilling systems without noticeable odor, without impacting rheology at recommended doses, and without the environmental drawbacks associated with many traditional clay stabilizers.
This is chemistry designed to perform and proven in the field.
