Effects of dosage, inorganic salts and polymers on the high-temperature rheological characteristics of bentonite, attapulgite and sepiolite suspensions

Understanding the high-temperature rheological behavior of mud-forming clays is critical for designing drilling fluids suitable for deep wells. The rheological properties of bentonite (BET), sepiolite (SEP), and attapulgite (ATP) are systematically investigated from 40 to 220 °C...
