Mica
Mica, particularly in its naturally occurring form like Muscovite Mica, is a versatile mineral widely utilized in the drilling industry. Available in fine, medium, and coarse grades,
These Mica are renowned for their unique platy structure, which enhances their ability to form effective seals in porous formations, thereby minimizing fluid loss and maintaining wellbore stability. Their exceptional thermal stability and lubricating properties further improve drilling efficiency and equipment longevity.
Mica applications
Mica is a valuable additive in drilling due to its unique properties:
Friction Reduction:
Acts as a lubricant, minimizing friction and extending equipment life.
Thermal Stability:
Performs well under high temperatures typical of deep drilling.
Well Protection:
Forms a protective layer on well walls, enhancing safety.
Leak Prevention:
Maintains pressure by preventing fluid leakage into formations.
Mica flakes are effective in both water-based and oil-based drilling, acting as a low-cost lost circulation material (LCM) that does not negatively impact drilling mud properties. Its platy structure helps create seals in porous formations.
Mica Packing
Mica packing is typically available in the following packaging options:
25 kg composite bags
1-ton and 1.5-ton jumbo bags
These packaging options provide flexibility and convenience for the end-users in the drilling industry, allowing them to choose the most suitable size based on their specific needs and requirements.
Export destinations
We export to the Middle East, East Asia, CIS countries, and various Arab, European, and African nations.
Technical Specification
Fine Mica:
Particle Size Range: 0 to 0.6 mm
This fine grade of mica is suitable for sealing small fractures and voids in the wellbore.
Medium Mica:
Particle Size Range: 0.6 to 1.2 mm
The medium-sized mica particles are effective in sealing larger lost circulation zones and maintaining wellbore stability.
Coarse Mica:
Particle Size Range: 1.2 to 2 mm
The coarse mica grade is used to bridge and seal larger openings and cavities in the formation, helping to prevent further fluid loss.
