Construction and Application of Flocculation and Destability System of Biodrill-A Drilling Fluid in Bohai Oilfield

To protect the marine ecological environment of Bohai Bay, the waste drilling fluid in Bohai oilfield have to be treated. In the light of the composition characteristics of Biodrill-A drilling fluid, the compounding method of the inorganic–organic flocculants was adopted to assist the flocculation a...
