VISCOSIFIER
| BRAND NAME | GENERIC NAME | PRIMARY FUNCTION |
|---|---|---|
| PEL-OCLAY | Organoclay | An organophillic clay used to impart viscosity and suspension properties in an oil-based drilling fluids and also helps to gel oil drilling fluids for long-term suspension of weighting agents in drilling and packer fluids (helps in hole cleaning during drilling, workover operation and fluid loss control) |
| PEL-OCLAY HT | Organoclay – HT | Rapidly imparts viscosity in any OBM (Oil-Based Mud) system. In addition to its gelling and suspension properties, it serves a secondary function in fluid loss control. Stable at temperatures up to 350°F |
| VISCOMOD P | Liquid Viscosifier | Liquid viscosifier designed for use in invert emulsion fluid systems, stable up to 350°F. Typically used in combination with organophilic clay, it can also function as a standalone viscosifier in certain invert mud systems. VISCOMOD-P enhances suspension properties, improves fluid loss control, and boosts emulsion stability in oil-based mud systems |
EMULSIFIER AND SURFACTANTS
| BRAND NAME | GENERIC NAME | PRIMARY FUNCTION |
|---|---|---|
| PEL MUL P | Primary Emulsifier | Primary Emulsifier for mineral oil or paraffin based drilling mud. It requires the addition of lime to perform as an emulsifier. PEL MUL P helps stabilize emulsions and also helps in reducing HPHT filtrate loss. PEL MUL P and PEL MUL S are complementary to each other. When both are used in proper ratios they yield the best results in stabilizing the fluid system |
| PEL MUL S | Secondary Emulsifier | Secondary emulsifier for mineral oil or paraffin based drilling mud. It acts as a wetting agent for OBM. It helps stabilize emulsions and also helps in oil wetting the drill solids. PEL MUL P and PEL MUL S are complementary to each other. When both are used in proper ratios they yield the best results in stabilizing the fluid system |
| PEL MUL O | High Performance Emulsifier | One pack emulsifier for all OBMs |
| PEL WET | Wetting Agent | Wetting agent for oil based mud systems helps in wetting the solids in diesel, mineral oil or synthetic based oil drilling fluids |
| PEL-THIN | Thinner | Used to control the rheological properties of invert emulsion drilling fluids |
FLUID LOSS CONTROL ADDITIVE
| BRAND NAME | GENERIC NAME | PRIMARY FUNCTION |
|---|---|---|
| PEL-OLIG | Organophilic Lignite | Modified lignitic product which is the primary filtration control additive for conventional invert emulsion drilling fluid systems. PEL-OLIG is not used in clay-free high performance invert emulsion systems |
| PEL-TROL M | Asphalt | Naturally occurring asphalt used for high- temperature, high-pressure(HTHP) filtration control in oil-base systems |
| PEL-FIL R | Liquid Polymeric fluid loss additive | Polymeric filtrate reducer for invert emulsion mud system. Helps to improve emulsion stability of invert emulsion fluids. Helps to increase thermal stability of drilling fluids at temperatures reaching till 350°F |
FAQs
Organophilic clay builds viscosity, increases gel strength, and suspends weighting agents while aiding in hole cleaning and fluid loss control in oil-based drilling fluids. Our PEL-OCLAY is one of the most essential additives in an OBM system, keeping the fluid stable and performing efficiently under severe downhole conditions.
Primary emulsifiers like PEL MUL P create and stabilize the oil-water emulsion, whereas secondary emulsifiers like PEL MUL S ensure drill solids remain oil-wet, preventing emulsion breakdown under downhole conditions. Both work best when used together in the correct ratio for optimal fluid system stability.
A liquid viscosifier like VISCOMOD P is used in invert emulsion systems when a flexible, pumpable alternative to organophilic clay is needed, or when an organoclay-free system is required. It builds viscosity, improves suspension, and enhances emulsion stability and fluid loss control, remaining stable at temperatures up to 350°F.
Fluid loss control additives prevent excessive filtrate from entering the formation. Choosing the right type depends on the mud system and downhole temperature and pressure conditions. For conventional invert emulsion systems, we supply organophilic lignite like PEL-OLIG, while for high-temperature applications up to 350°F, we provide polymeric reducers like PEL-FIL R.
A wetting agent like PEL WET ensures drill solids remain oil-wet rather than water-wet in diesel, mineral oil, or synthetic-based drilling fluids. This prevents emulsion instability, increased torque, and drag. Without it, solids can destabilize the entire mud system and drastically reduce overall drilling efficiency.
