OBM VISCOSIFIER MANUFACTURER
OBM Viscosifier Manufacturer
High-Performance Organoclay from Camp-Shinning
Camp-Shinning specializes in manufacturing viscosifiers for oil-based mud (OBM), delivering reliable gel strength, suspension, and rheology stability for oilfield drilling operations worldwide.
As wells become deeper and hotter, operators demand viscosifiers engineered specifically for OBM— not generic additives. Camp-Shinning produces advanced organoclay viscosifiers that build structure, stabilize emulsions and prevent sag in diesel, mineral and synthetic oil-based mud systems.
RHEOLOGY CONTROL IN OBM
Why a Quality Viscosifier Defines OBM Performance
In oil-based mud, the OBM viscosifier manufacturer is the backbone of the entire rheology profile. It determines how the mud cleans the hole, suspends barite, stabilizes the wellbore and performs in HPHT conditions.
- Low-shear-rate viscosity: essential for cuttings transport.
- Strong gel structure: prevents barite sag in high-density mud.
- Emulsion stability: supports invert emulsions for OBM/SBM.
- Thermal resistance: maintains rheology under temperature swings.
- Thixotropy: improves pumpability while preserving suspension properties.
Most suppliers describe viscosifiers in generic terms. Camp-Shinning focuses on true OBM chemistry—how each viscosifier behaves inside working drilling fluids.

OBM VISCOSIFIER GRADES
Camp-Shinning OBM Viscosifier Product Range
Camp-Shinning offers multiple OBM-oriented viscosifier grades based on high-activity organoclay, designed for different base oils and drilling conditions:
- CP-180 – diesel & mineral oil systems; strong suspension and clarity.
- High-density OBM grades – balanced rheology for deep or high-angle wells.
- SBM viscosifiers – optimized for LAO, esters & advanced synthetic oils.
Unlike generic suppliers, Camp-Shinning provides a full viscosifier portfolio — not a single “universal” product — to match the specific needs of each mud system.
TECHNICAL DATA
CP-180 — Representative OBM Viscosifier
CP-180 is Camp-Shinning’s signature OBM viscosifier, formulated from organically modified montmorillonite to produce efficient gel strength, stable emulsions and predictable rheology development.
| Parameter | Typical Value | Benefit in OBM |
|---|---|---|
| Chemistry | Organically modified montmorillonite | Strong interaction with oil phase forming a stable 3D network |
| Appearance | Fine white powder | Good dispersibility in oil phase |
| Moisture | ≤ 3.5% | Ensures storage stability & predictable activation |
| Loss on Ignition | 29–32% | Indicates efficient organic treatment |
| Fineness | ≥ 98% < 74 μm | Supports rapid mixing & strong gel formation |
Performance Highlights
- Rapid gel strength development under shear.
- Steady low-shear viscosity for cuttings suspension.
- High stability across wide temperature gradients.
- Strong emulsion stability in invert systems.
- Colorless gels ensure clear mud monitoring.
APPLICATION & HANDLING
How to Use Camp-Shinning OBM Viscosifiers
Dosage Guidelines
- Typical concentration: 0.2–2.0% of total mud formulation.
- Higher-density or HPHT muds may require tailored dosage.
Dispersion & Activation
- Add viscosifier to the oil phase under strong shear mixing.
- Polar activators (e.g., 95% ethanol/methanol) improve efficiency.
- No heating required when adequate shear is applied.
Formulation Integration
- Add before emulsifiers & brine to build structure in the oil phase.
- Check YP, gels & PV to fine-tune rheology window.
- Evaluate performance at surface & expected downhole temperatures.
OBM Best Practices
- Run comparative lab tests for economic optimization.
- Closely monitor sag control in high-density muds.
- Ensure emulsifier compatibility with viscosifier grade.
- Store in dry, ventilated areas; keep packaging sealed.
