In this work, we studied a method for producing organophilic clay with a contact angle of more than 150° from bentonite clay from the Taganskoye deposit, demonstrating high stability in an organic environment, with the aim of further creating drilling fluids based on it, exhibiting thixotropic properties in an anhydrous environment.
During the course of our research, A novel method for producing superhydrophobic clays from bentonite have been developed and explored their potential applications in the production of anhydrous drilling fluids for the petroleum industry.
A variety of cationic surfactant compounds were used as superhydrophobic agents.In the presence of tetrakis(decyl) ammonium bromide (TKAB), organophilic (superhydrophobic) clay with a wetting angle of 170 degrees was obtained. The distribution and stability of organophilic clay particles obtained using TKAB in diesel fuel were determined. It was proved that the particles of organophilic clay formed on the basis of TKAB create a stable suspension in diesel fuel and do not mix with the aqueous phase at all.
