Organophilic bentonite for oil-based drilling
Organophilic bentonite for oil-based drilling – high-efficiency organoclay for OBM performance
Organophilic bentonite designed for oil-based drilling fluids, providing strong gel strength, rapid yield and improved suspension in diesel and mineral oil systems.
Our organophilic bentonite for oil-based drilling fluids is a high-performance rheology modifier engineered for OBM applications requiring stable viscosity, enhanced suspension and excellent emulsion durability.
Through optimized surface modification, the clay disperses quickly and forms a robust gel network that maintains consistency under thermal and mechanical stress.
Suitable for diesel oil, mineral oil, synthetic oils and low BTEX fluids, it improves hole cleaning, prevents sag and ensures reliable mud conditioning throughout the drilling process.
Oil-based drilling fluids depend on a viscosifier that can withstand harsh downhole conditions while maintaining predictable rheology. When engineers test our organophilic bentonite and observe its rapid activation, strong gel formation and stable suspension capability, interest grows immediately.
Once they confirm consistent OBM performance across temperature shifts and high-density systems, the desire to use this organoclay intensifies. With competitive pricing and global supply support, it is a proven solution for modern OBM drilling programs.
🔹 FAQ – Organophilic bentonite for oil-based drilling
Q1: How does organophilic bentonite differ from regular bentonite?
It is chemically modified to swell in oil rather than water.
Q2: Does it improve OBM stability?
Yes — significantly enhances emulsion structure and viscosity control.
Q3: Suitable for high-density mud weights?
Yes — excellent barite suspension.
Q4: Does it help prevent fluid loss?
Indirectly, through improved gel structure and filter cake stability.
Q5: Is it compatible with diesel and mineral oils?
Yes — disperses cleanly without excessive shear.
