CLAY BUSTER
CLAY BUSTER is a clay and shale inhibitor designed to help control swelling, dispersion and borehole narrowing in reactive formations. It can be used with polymer and bentonite-based systems.
Clay and Shale Inhibitor for Water-Based Drilling Fluids
CLAY BUSTER is a clay and shale inhibitor supplied for reactive formations where swelling, dispersion, accretion or borehole narrowing can impair drilling performance. Mudolog supplies the product from Turkey for B2B water-based drilling-fluid programmes.
Applications
Typical use cases include HDD, water well, core, mining exploration, geothermal and selected oil & gas water-based mud systems with reactive clay or shale.
Product Selection
The inhibitor programme should be selected against formation reactivity, water chemistry, polymer/bentonite system, solids loading and the required balance between inhibition and rheology.
Export & Mixed-Product Supply
CLAY BUSTER can be quoted with PHPA, drilling lubricant, PAC, bentonite and LCM as a complete water-based drilling-additive package.

Why are clay and shale inhibitors used in drilling fluids?
They are used to reduce hydration, swelling and dispersion of reactive clay or shale and to support more stable drilling-fluid and borehole behaviour.
Can a clay inhibitor be used with PHPA?
A clay inhibitor can be used in a polymer programme when the chemistry is compatible, but the complete mud system should be checked rather than treating each additive independently.
What information helps select an inhibitor?
Formation type, water chemistry, current mud formulation, solids content, temperature and the observed clay or shale problem are useful selection inputs.
