Organophilic Clay for Synthetic Drilling Fluids

Organophilic Clay for Synthetic Drilling Fluids | Reliable Gel Strength and Stability

Organophilic clay for synthetic drilling fluids, providing viscosity development, gel strength, and suspension control in SBM systems.

Synthetic drilling fluids require additives that interact efficiently with non-aqueous phases while maintaining stable rheology. Organophilic clay is widely used for this purpose due to its ability to form structured networks within synthetic oils.

When properly activated, organophilic clay delivers rapid gel development, enhances suspension of weighting materials, and stabilizes fluid behavior during circulation stops. This makes it a key component in many SBM formulations.

For drilling operations, organophilic clay contributes to predictable fluid performance and reduced risk of solids separation.
