OBM ORGANOCALY MANUFACTURER
OBM Organoclay Manufacturer
Camp-Shinning Organophilic Clay for Oil-Based Mud
Camp-Shinning is a dedicated OBM organoclay manufacturer, supplying high-performance rheology modifiers for oil-based mud (OBM) and synthetic-based mud (SBM) systems in the Middle East, Russia and worldwide.
As drilling moves deeper and hotter, operators need more than a generic additive. They need organoclay engineered specifically for OBM — with reliable gel strength, barite suspension and emulsion stability in diesel, mineral and synthetic base oils. That is exactly what Camp-Shinning focuses on.
RHEOLOGY CONTROL IN OBM
Why Organoclay Is the Backbone of Stable Oil-Based Mud
In an OBM or SBM system, organoclay is no longer just a thickener. It is the backbone of your rheology profile. A well-designed organophilic clay:
- Builds low-shear-rate viscosity for efficient hole cleaning and cuttings transport.
- Suspends barite and drilled solids, reducing sag and density fluctuations.
- Stabilizes invert emulsions in diesel, mineral oil and synthetic base fluids.
- Maintains rheology at high temperatures, essential for deep HPHT wells.
- Contributes to a thin, low-permeability filter cake that protects the formation.
Many web pages talk about “organoclay” in very general terms. Camp-Shinning concentrates on OBM-specific performance – focusing on how each grade behaves in real drilling conditions, not just in a beaker.
Camp-Shinning in Brief
- Core business: organoclay & organophilic clay rheology modifiers.
- Experience: over 20 years in modified bentonite and drilling additives.
- Capacity: around 30,000 MT/year of organoclay-based rheology additives.
- Markets: strong presence in the Middle East, Russia, CIS and other key oilfield regions.

Instead of listing organoclay as one item in a long catalogue, Camp-Shinning positions itself as a specialist OBM organoclay manufacturer – with products, capacity and technical support aligned around drilling fluids.
OBM ORGANOCLAY PORTFOLIO
OBM-Focused Organoclay Grades from Camp-Shinning
Camp-Shinning designs several organoclay grades specifically for OBM and SBM systems. Each grade is tailored to base oil type, polarity and the rheology window demanded by the well.
- CP-180 – Organoclays based on modified montmorillonite, ideal for diesel and low- to medium-polarity mineral oils. High gelling efficiency and good clarity.
- High-density OBM grades – Balanced gel strength and plastic viscosity for heavy muds in deep or HPHT wells.
- SBM-oriented grades – Optimized compatibility with synthetic base fluids like linear alpha-olefins and esters.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all product, Camp-Shinning works as an OBM organoclay manufacturer offering a family of rheology modifiers to match your base oil, density and temperature requirements.
TECHNICAL DATA – CP-180
CP-180 OBM Organoclay – Key Technical Parameters
CP-180 is a representative organoclay from Camp-Shinning for diesel and mineral oil-based mud systems. It is based on an organically modified montmorillonite and shows strong gelling efficiency in intermediate and low-polarity organic liquids.
| Parameter | Typical CP-180 Value | Benefit in OBM |
|---|---|---|
| Composition | Organic derivative of montmorillonite clay | Strong affinity for oil phase, forming a 3D network structure. |
| Appearance | Fine white powder | Easy to handle, dose and disperse in mixing equipment. |
| Moisture (105 °C, 2 h) | ≤ 3.5 % | Controlled water level for predictable rheology. |
| Loss on ignition (1000 °C) | 29–32 % | Indicates effective organic treatment and activity. |
| Bulk density | Approx. 0.53 g/cm³ | Optimized packing and handling characteristics. |
| Fineness (< 74 μm) | ≥ 98 % | Very fine particles for rapid dispersion and strong gel strength. |
Performance Highlights in Oil-Based Mud
- High gelling efficiency across a wide range of intermediate and low-polarity base oils.
- Reproducible thixotropic behavior for consistent rheology from batch to batch.
- Strong suspension of weighting agents and drilled solids, helping to prevent barite sag.
- Colourless, high-clarity gels that simplify visual monitoring of mud condition.
- Reinforcing effect in oil-based binder systems, improving film strength where applicable.
APPLICATION & HANDLING
Using CP-180 Organoclay in OBM Systems
Typical Dosage
- Normal addition levels are in the range of 0.2–2.0 % of the total formulation.
- The exact dosage depends on base oil type, target density and required rheology profile.
Dispersion & Activation
- CP-180 disperses under high shear; no heating is required to achieve good dispersion.
- For best efficiency, a polar activator (such as 95 % ethanol or 95 % methanol) is used.
- The recommended polar activator level is about 30–40 % of the CP-180 weight.
Integration into OBM Formulations
- Add CP-180 into the oil phase under strong agitation before emulsifiers and brine.
- Allow enough mixing time for the organoclay structure to develop fully.
- Adjust organoclay level together with emulsifiers and wetting agents to fine-tune rheology.
Best Practices from an OBM Organoclay Manufacturer
- Evaluate performance in your own mud formulation before large-scale use.
- Measure rheology at both surface and expected downhole temperatures.
- Consider interactions with weighting materials, emulsifiers and fluid-loss additives.
- Store CP-180 in a cool, dry and ventilated warehouse; keep bags closed until use.
Many online product pages simply list a few properties. Camp-Shinning goes further – combining technical data with practical OBM usage guidelines to shorten the time between lab test and field success.
WHY CAMP-SHINNING
What Sets Camp-Shinning Apart as an OBM Organoclay Manufacturer
