Viscosifier for new mineral, synthetic muds
VG‐PLUS organophilic clay is an improved viscosifier and gelling additive for all synthetic‐base and VERSACLEAN mineral oil‐base systems. The VG‐PLUS product is used to increase gel strength and viscosity in mineral oil and synthetic‐base muds. The product provides viscosity for building new fluids that have not been exposed to shear and temperature.
The VG‐PLUS clay is an amine‐treated bentonite that improves the carrying capacity, gel strength and suspension of weight material. It also assists in improving filter‐cake quality and filtration control. It is especially useful in blending plants where high shear and temperature are not available to obtain full dispersion and hydration.
VG‐PLUS additive is effective in mineral oil‐ and synthetic‐base drilling, coring, workover and completion fluids. It can also be used in specialty fluids such as casing packs, packer fluids, lost‐circulation pills and spotting fluids where viscosity is required.
Advantages
- High‐performance viscosifier for all mineral oil‐ and synthetic‐base fluids
- Especially effective when mixing new fluids in low‐shear, low‐temperature situations such as in mud plants
- Increases viscosity for improved hole cleaning and weight‐material suspension
- Improves filter‐cake quality for reduced fluid loss
- Provides efficient gelling capabilities for blending casing packs and packer fluids
