V-GEL®4 Viscosifier is an easy to disperse, Organically modified Palygorskite clay(for example : attapulgite,smectitie ) for w/o based muds, V-GEL® 4 is suitable for drilling fluids based on mineral and other low toxicity oils, synthetics, as well as diesel and crude oils.

APPLICATIONS

Viscosifying drilling fluids including: Oil-based drilling muds

W/O drilling muds

low end suspension muds

INCORPORATION
Good agitation should be used for mixing when using V-GEL® 4 additive. Since it is an easier-dispersing organoclay, less work will be needed to incorporate it into the drilling fluid, and the need to circulate down-hole to build full rheology is significantly reduced. The amount of stirring needed during incorporation will depend on the temperature of the oil..
