Rheological properties of drilling mud formulated from ten samples of Nigerian clay and treated with sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3) were determined. Four different formulations were made: A (22.5 g / 350 ml of mud + 0% Na 2 CO 3), B (22.5 g / 350 ml of mud + 10% Na 2 CO 3), C (25 g / 350 ml of mud + 10% Na 2 CO 3) and D (28 g / 350 ml of mud + 10% Na...

... Later researchers, such as Mihalakis et al. (2004), observed that the rheological properties of the black cotton clays improved with addition of Na2CO3, such that the upgraded clay can be used as multipurpose drilling mud. Other researchers (Ezeribe and Oyedeji, 2005) added lignite to clay mud to improve its rheological and filtration properties. The lignite was activated with sodium hydroxide and added to fresh water mud at different concentrations. ...
... They reported that more than 80 clay deposits can be found from all parts the country. Investigations [3,[10][11][12][13] on the existence of bentonite clay reserves in Nigeria have been carried out by various researchers. Clay is a common name for materials that become plastic and tenacious when moist, and becomes permanently hard when baked or fired. ...
