			WELL DRILLING :- 
 Drilling mud is a major component in the well drilling 
			process. Drilling mud is crucial in the extraction of drill cuttings 
			during the drilling process. Our Bentonite, when mixed with water, 
			forms a fluid that is pumped through the drill stem and out through 
			the drill bit. The Bentonite extracts the drill cuttings from around 
			the bit, which are then floated to the surface. The drilling mud, or 
			gel, also serves to cool and lubricate the drill bit as well as seal 
			the drill hole against seepage and to prevent wall cave-ins.
