M-I GEL SUPREME WYOMING

Non-treated bentonite viscosifier

M‐I GEL SUPREME WYOMING viscosifier is a premium‐grade Wyoming bentonite (a sodium montmorillonite clay), which has not been chemically treated. It is used as a primary filter‐cake‐building, filtration‐control and suspension agent in freshwater systems, and has application in all water‐base mud systems. M‐I GEL SUPREME WYOMING viscosifier is a high‐quality product that meets the ISO 13500 Clause 10 (formerly known as API Spec 13A, Section 10) specifications for non-treated bentonite.

M‐I GEL SUPREME WYOMING viscosifier is used to increase viscosity and reduce fluid loss in water‐base drilling fluids. It is a cost‐effective product for achieving viscosity, controlling fluid loss and maintaining filter‐cake quality in freshwater and seawater muds.

Advantages

• Hydrates more than other types of clays and is best for generating viscosity, developing gels for suspension and controlling filtration
• A premium‐grade, API, non-treated bentonite; therefore, it does not contain chemical treatments and is considered to be more desirable for certain applications
• Small particle size, unique flat shape and high surface area of hydrated M‐I GEL SUPREME WYOMING viscosifier provides superior filtration characteristics
