 |
GELTONE, an organophilic clay, imparts viscosity and suspension properties to oilbased drilling fluids.
GELTONE is a bentonite clay that has been treated with an amine compound to promote its dispersion/yield in oils.
GELTONE yields more readily with shear when fluid temperatures are at least 120'F(49'C).
*Applications/Functions: Viscosify any oil-based drilling fluid, Improve hole cleaning during drilling and workover operations, Gel oil muds for long-term suspension of weighting agents in packer fluids and casing packs
*Advantages: Stable at temperatures approaching 400'F(205'C), Aids in filtration control. |
