Bentonite Products - Oil Sands Coring

Enviroplug® is an extremely versatile product used for abandoning cased and uncased boreholes, sealing casing, isolating zones, sealing grounding rods and heat pump conductor holes, and much more.

Coated Enviroplug® Tablets form a seal with high density and low permeability, effectively isolating screen sections in multi-completion wells and creating a barrier between sand packs and high solids bentonite grouts.

Enviroplug® No. 8 and No. 20 are high-swelling Wyoming sodium bentonite in granular form. Due to their unique molecular structure, they can absorb five times their water weight and swell to a volume of 12-16 times their dry bulk, making them an ideal well sealant.

Our Extra High Yield Bentonite® (EHYB) is a specially peptized high-yield bentonite that disperses and hydrates to provide excellent borehole cleaning capabilities and well-bore stability.

NaturalGel® is an unpeptized bentonite (sodium montmorillonite) that can expand several times its original volume when placed in water, resulting in higher fluid viscosity, gel strength, and solids-suspending ability.

Earth Pro Wyoming Gel is used for viscosity and filtration control in freshwater mud systems. The bentonite must first be prehydrated in fresh water in muds with a salinity of 3500 mg/L or higher.
