Drilling Fluid Report - Calcium

Calcium                                        ppm

If water contains a lot of calcium or magnesium salts, it is referred to as “hard water”. The harder the water, the more difficult it is to get bentonite to yield, thus requiring more bentonite to make a good gel. Excess calcium contamination may cause abnormally high water loss and fast gel rates.
