Lubrication additive organoclay drilling
lubrication additive organoclay drilling – Camp-Shinning organophilic clay for improved drilling lubricity
Camp-Shinning organophilic clay boosts drilling fluid lubrication, reducing torque & drag while maintaining stable rheology for OBM/SBM systems.
Camp-Shinning’s organoclay serves not only as a rheology modifier but also as an effective lubrication enhancer in drilling fluids. The plate-like clay structure forms a lubricating micro-film on metal surfaces and drillstring components, reducing friction, torque and drag in challenging drilling environments.
In OBM and SBM systems, Camp-Shinning organoclay contributes to smoother drilling, improved ROP and reduced mechanical wear—all while maintaining excellent suspension and gel strength.
High torque and poor lubricity often lead to stuck pipe, excessive drag and drilling inefficiency. When drilling engineers evaluate Camp-Shinning organoclay and notice its dual-function role—enhancing both lubrication and rheology—they recognize a valuable operational advantage. As field observations confirm lower torque trends, improved directional drilling performance and reduced mechanical failures, the desire to incorporate this additive grows rapidly.
🔹 FAQ – Lubrication additive organoclay drilling
Q1: How does organoclay improve drilling fluid lubricity?
By forming micro-layered films that reduce metal-to-metal friction.
Q2: Does it affect rheology?
