Organophilic clay for drilling fluids
Our organophilic clay for drilling fluids is engineered for modern oil-based mud (OBM) and synthetic-based mud (SBM) systems, delivering stable rheology, high-temperature durability and exceptional swelling performance.
Designed through precise amine-modification of bentonite, the product enhances gel strength, improves cuttings suspension, stabilizes downhole pressure, and maintains consistent viscosity under extreme HTHP conditions.
With excellent dispersion in diesel, mineral oils, PAO-synthetic oils and low-toxicity base fluids, it ensures reliable wellbore cleaning and efficient drilling operations.
Export-ready supply, consistent batch quality, and technical support allow oilfield service companies in the Middle East, Russia, Central Asia, India and global markets to integrate our organophilic clay directly into their mud systems with confidence.
Engineered for today’s demanding drilling environments, our organophilic clay captures attention with its ability to build stable gel structure quickly in OBM and SBM systems.
Organophilic clay for drilling fluids builds interest by offering proven high-temperature performance, fast dispersion and reliable suspension behavior even in deep, high-pressure wells.
Buyers naturally develop desire once they realize the material delivers consistent rheology, reduces dilution costs, improves rate of penetration and supports stable downhole pressure.
With full export documentation, flexible packaging, and technical service available, customers are encouraged to request samples or a bulk quotation to optimize their drilling fluid performance with a dependable, global-grade organophilic clay.
FAQ – Organophilic clay for drilling fluids
Q1. What makes organophilic clay suitable for drilling fluids?
Organophilic clay is chemically modified with quaternary amines, allowing it to swell and disperse in oil-based or synthetic drilling fluids, producing strong gel structure and stable rheology essential for cuttings suspension and wellbore stability.
Q2. In which drilling fluid systems can this organoclay be used?
It performs exceptionally in OBM, SBM, low-toxicity base fluids, diesel-based mud, mineral-oil based mud and high-density drilling systems.
Q3. Can it handle high-temperature, high-pressure (HTHP) wells?
Yes. The clay maintains gel strength and viscosity stability above 150–180°C, supporting deep wells, offshore wells and high-angle drilling.
Q4. What is the typical dosage?
Most drilling fluids use 2–7 lb/bbl depending on density, oil-water ratio, and required rheological profile.
Q5. How important is dispersion quality?
Fast dispersion leads directly to faster mud preparation, lower product consumption, and more stable rheology over time — critical for reducing on-site operational costs.
Q6. Do you provide export documentation and third-party testing?
Yes. COA, SGS report, MSDS, and full technical datasheets are provided, along with tailored packaging for large-scale oilfield shipments.
