Organophilic clay for mineral oil-based drilling systems
Organophilic clay for mineral oil-based drilling systems – reliable viscosifier for standard OBM formulations
Organophilic clay formulated for mineral oil-based drilling systems, delivering consistent viscosity, strong suspension and stable rheology performance across standard OBM operations.
Our organophilic clay for mineral oil-based drilling systems provides predictable viscosity development, improved emulsion stability and strong suspension performance for conventional OBM formulations.
Mineral oil is widely used as a drilling base fluid due to its cost efficiency and balanced solvency; however, it requires a viscosifier with reliable dispersibility and strong gel-building capability. This organoclay stabilizes barite, reduces sag, and maintains rheology consistency across shear conditions, temperature changes and static periods.
Drilling operations relying on mineral oil demand a rheology modifier that provides consistent performance without requiring excessive shear or long mixing times. When engineers evaluate our organoclay and notice its rapid activation and strong suspension capability in mineral oil, interest grows quickly.
As field trials demonstrate fewer sag issues, stable gel profiles and predictable rheology behavior, the desire to rely on this viscosifier strengthens. With competitive pricing and reliable supply, it becomes a practical and effective choice for mineral oil OBM systems.
