VERSAGEL HT

Overview Library

High-temperature viscosifier for VERSA, NOVA and PARADRIL muds

VERSAGEL HT pure hectorite clay is the primary viscosifier in all VERSA oil‐base, NOVA synthetic‐base, and PARADRIL paraffin‐base drilling fluid systems with high‐temperature requirements. VERSAGEL HT viscosifier is used to increase the carrying capacity and suspension properties, provide support for weight materials, and improve cuttings removal. VERSAGEL HT viscosifier also aids in filtercake formation and filtration control.

VERSAGEL HT clay is temperature stable to 400°F (204°C). VERSAGEL HT viscosifier is unaffected by contaminants normally encountered in drilling. VERSAGEL HT viscosifier contributes to the HTHP fluid loss of the system.

Advantages

  • Effective at high temperatures
  • Provides gel structure and viscosity for the suspension of weight material
  • Increases viscosity for improved hole‐cleaning capacity
  • Improves filtercake quality and filtration characteristics
