What is oilfield organoclay used for?
Oilfield organoclay is used as a rheological additive in oil-based drilling fluids, oil-based mud, synthetic-based mud, invert emulsion systems, and related oilfield fluids where viscosity, thixotropy, suspension, anti-settling behavior, and drilling fluid stability need to be controlled.
Which buyers should use this page?
This page is built for procurement managers, drilling fluid formulators, technical managers, oilfield chemical distributors, and international buyers comparing manufacturer-direct oilfield organoclay options.
Which OD products are included in the oilfield organoclay family?
The approved initial OD product model scope includes OD-05, OD-13, OD-20, OD-28, OD-29, OD-85, and OD-E29. Detailed grade positioning should follow current product documents, TDS, and page-level confirmation.
When should I request TDS?
Request TDS when you have a likely grade path and need current technical information for formulation review, sample testing, procurement comparison, or internal approval.
How do I choose the correct OD grade?
Start with your fluid system, base oil, temperature condition, rheology target, dispersion method, and documentation requirements. If the choice is unclear, use the grade selection guide or request technical recommendation support.
Can technical engineers recommend a grade before ordering?
Yes. Send your fluid system, base oil, temperature condition, target viscosity or rheology profile, mixing condition, and required documents so the technical team can recommend a product path before ordering.
What information should I prepare before requesting samples?
Prepare your target application, base oil or mud system, temperature condition, expected rheology target, estimated quantity, current additive if any, and requested documents such as TDS, SDS/MSDS, or COA where available.
