Pel Plug

Other Names: Bentonite Plugging Agent
Basic Properties: Borehole Sealing, Lost Circulation Control, Well Abandonment
Pel Plug is a granular bentonite-based plugging agent used to seal boreholes, prevent fluid migration, and control lost circulation in drilling and well abandonment applications. It is particularly effective in water-sensitive formations, where a reliable sealing solution is required.
When hydrated, Pel Plug expands significantly, forming an impermeable seal that blocks the movement of fluids into the surrounding formation. This makes it ideal for sealing abandoned wells, lost circulation zones, and fractures in the wellbore.
Additionally, Pel Plug is chemically stable and environmentally friendly, making it a preferred choice for regulatory-compliant well sealing operations.
pH: Pel Plug typically functions within a pH range of 8.0 to 10.0, ensuring compatibility with alkaline water-based drilling fluids.
By incorporating Pel Plug into drilling operations, operators can achieve superior well sealing, prevent fluid migration, reduce lost circulation, and comply with well abandonment requirements, ensuring long-term borehole integrity.
