100% Natural Diatomaceous Earth Powder for High Fluid Loss Lost Circulation In Oil Well Drilling

100% Natural Diatomaceous Earth Powder for High Fluid Loss Lost Circulation In Oil Well Drilling

Lost Circulation is the most costly mud related problem, and induced facture. Water slurry of Diatomite is used as the high fluid loss squeeze slurry in the treatment of lost circulation and in decreasing fluid loss. Diatomite decreases the required time for collecting the filtrate to 1 min comparing with the international standard which recommended the filtrate should be collected maximum within 2-3 min.

Drilling fluid or mud may be defined as any fluid that is used in a drilling operation. A drilling fluid is circulated or pumped from the surface down the drill string, through the bit, and back to the surface via the annulus. It is the single most important part of any earth excavation exercise, especially when drilling for oil and gas, Selection of the best fluid to meet anticipated conditions will minimize well costs and reduce the risk of catastrophes such as stuck Drill Pipe, loss of circulation, gas kick, etc.

Lost circulation is the term used to describe the condition characterized by lack of mud returning to the surface after being pumped down a well-bore. It is caused by the loss of some or the whole of the drilling fluid or mud at any depth into the natural fissures or due to high permeability of the formation or by pressure induced factures in fluid loss and there is high cost associated with replacing drilling fluid.

Many lost circulation materials are added to drilling fluids. One of the lost circulation water base mud (WBM) additives that are considered environmentally friendly is Diatomite Silica. Silicates are non-toxic and are multi functional materials that are being used in drilling mud formulations by causing changes in density, ionic strength, and charge. Diatomite Silica is needed for critical drilling mud functions such as: drill-bit cooling, bit cleaning, effective cuttings removal to surface, down hole pressure control and shale stabilization.

Diatomite can be combined with other materials such as organic fibres to be used as a lost circulation control material in water drilling fluids. It is typically used as a rheological modifier or processing aid in a "squeeze" treatment, it has a highly permeable nature which allowed it to rapidly form a plug to bridge fractures,. Diatomite produce a highly porous mineral which can be used to seal wide fractures, as it will lose fluid very rapidly to provide a solid plug on which an impermeable filter cake may then form. Silica constitutes about 78-85 % of the chemical composition of the diatom frustules. Typical high fluid loss slurry contains a mixture of diatomite, bridging agents and barite suspended in either water or oil.

Almost any type of mud can be used as a carrying fluid for spotting lost circulation materials. But Fluids that have extremely high filtration rates are best. Once the initial bridge forms, filtration allows the filtrate to be lost from the slurry depositing a firm filter cake within the fracture itself. This technique should be used against all types of loss zones. There are slight differences in application to these different loss zones. There are slight differences in application to these different loss zones, but the main increasing the size of the bridging agent as the loss zone becomes more severe.

We are the biggest mine owners and manufacturers of Diatomaceous Earth / Kieselgurh / Diatomite in India and have 4 mining leases in our name. We manufacture various grades of Diatomaceous Earth / Kieselguhr / Diatomite which include Natural powder, Natural fine powder, Calcined powder, Flux calcined Powder, Grains, Granulated etc.

Diatomaceous Earth also known as Diatomite & Kieselguhr (German Word) is a chalky sedimentary rock composed of the skeletal of single cell aquatic pants called Diatoms. Each particle is porous and has Honeycomb, Rods & cones and snow flake like structure.

When crushed to a fine powder and observed through a microscope the particles resemble bits of broken glass. Due to its structure and properties it has wide industrial and organic use.

The Real Wealth of Company Lies in its own mineral Resources…

Incepted in the year 1975, we are renowned Mines Owner of Diatomaceous Earth / Siliceous Earth / Kieselguhr/ Diatomite having 4 mining leases in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan and a processing plant located in Udaipur district of Rajasthan. Our unit has the facility for micronization, calcination, drying, and granulation. We believe that the success of the company is dependent on the satisfaction of customers.

For this reason, we take every possible effort in matching the specification of our clients. We maintain high-quality standards throughout the production process and punctuality regarding on-time delivery of the products. All these efforts have helped us to gain trust of our customers and we have been working with them since the last many years.

At Seema Minerals, we have adopted environment-friendly mining and have reclaimed almost 80% of our mined area...

We have planted a number of trees over the reclaimed area to make the mining area green. We use green energy in our mines and factory and have installed solar power projects. We have also received many prizes from the Indian Bureau of Mines for this initiative. We have always prided ourselves on the vision, skills, expertise, and professionalism of our team. Our rich experience has enabled us to meet the needs and requirements of the customers.

Moreover, around the course of the last 40 years, we have established a good clientele base. Along with this, we have a very big warehouse to store raw material and finished goods for a longer period of time during the rainy season which allows us to continue our supplies without being interrupted. We also have our R & D laboratory to develop various products for different applications and to manufacture them as per the client’s requirement.

Quality

With a quality-driven approach in our work, we maintain high-quality standards throughout the process. We strive to provide service to its customers with emphasis on continuous improvement, proactive approach, courtesy, timely delivery, and accuracy, with a goal of achieving total customer satisfaction.

Further, we stringently checked all the quality procedures in order to maintain quality right from the procurement of the raw materials to the final delivery of the products. We have a team of quality assistance to check the standard of our range of minerals and allied products on several parameters. At our testing laboratory, we also make use of sophisticated testing methods at our quality control department prior to storage and dispatch.

Seema Minerals & Metals are the biggest mine owner of Diatomaceous Earth/Siliceous Earth in India and have 4 mining leases in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan in Thar desert. We do environment friendly mining. We mine the mineral, refill the mined area and plant trees on reclaimed areas to conserve mother earth. Some space is made reservoir to store rainwater to fulfil the requirement of water for trees planted in the mining area.

With 3500 flourishing trees till today, the area looks greener than before and a lot of birds are visible in the mining area making our aim to conserve mother earth successful. We use green energy on mines site and have solar power plant for daily needs of electricity. We do a lot of CSR Activities in nearby villages of our mines. Ours is zero waste mines and all the material is segregated on mines site and transported to our factory to manufacture material for various applications.

With our processing plant based in Udaipur, Rajashtan, our factory is equipped with Grinding Machine, Micronisers, Rotary Dryer, Rotary Kiln, Washing Plant, Granulation Plant and various other equipment’s suitable for making a wide range of Diatomaceous Earth Products with applications such as Fillers, animal feed, Agriculture, Paint, Refinery, Insecticides, Insulation, Mould Release applications.
