Organoclay for Oil-Based Mud (OBM)

Organoclay for Oil-Based Mud (OBM) | Proven Rheology Additive for Drilling Fluids

Organoclay for oil-based mud applications, delivering viscosity, gel strength, and reliable suspension of solids in OBM systems.

Oil-based mud systems depend on organoclay as a core rheology additive. Its organophilic nature allows it to interact effectively with oil phases, creating a structured fluid capable of carrying cuttings and suspending weighting agents.

Organoclay develops gel strength quickly and maintains viscosity stability under drilling conditions. This supports efficient drilling performance, minimizes sag risk, and enhances fluid reliability during both circulation and shutdowns.

For drilling engineers, organoclay remains a trusted and widely adopted solution for OBM rheology control.
