Organoclay viscosity modifier for OBM

Organoclay viscosity modifier for OBM – Camp-Shinning organobentonite for stable oil-based mud rheology

Camp-Shinning organoclay is a high-efficiency viscosity modifier for OBM, providing strong gel strength, predictable viscosity profiles and superior suspension for oil-based drilling fluids.

Oil-based mud (OBM) systems rely on viscosity modifiers capable of delivering predictable rheology under extreme drilling conditions.

Camp-Shinning’s organoclay is engineered as a high-performance viscosity modifier that provides rapid yield, strong low-shear gel structure and reliable suspension of weighting materials.

Its optimized surface treatment ensures excellent compatibility with diesel, mineral oils, synthetic oils and low BTEX OBM formulations.

OBM viscosity instability leads to sag, poor hole cleaning and unpredictable ECD. When mud engineers test Camp-Shinning’s organoclay and observe clean dispersion, controlled viscosity rise and stable performance at elevated temperatures, interest grows immediately.

As drilling operations experience fewer rheology-related issues, improved barite management and reduced mud conditioning costs, the desire to use Camp-Shinning’s viscosity modifiers becomes compelling.
