Id Om Clyhec

ID-OM CLYHEC is a high-performance organophilic clay viscosifier for non-aqueous drilling fluids that provides superior rheological properties. It yields rapidly even under low shear conditions to suspend cuttings and aid in hole cleaning. Typical treatments are 3 to 10 lb/bbl and it can be added quickly through the hopper. ID-OM CLYHEC offers advantages such as improved rheology for hole cleaning and weight suspension, as well as rapid mixing.

PRODUCT BULLETIN

ID-OM CLYHEC

ID-OM CLYHEC viscosifier is a high-performance organophilic clay for ID-OM AND ID-ESTER systems. ID-OM
CLYHEC additives yields rapidly, even under low-shear conditions, and provides superior rheological properties
for weight material suspension, hole cleaning and cutting removal.

Typical Physical Properties

Physical appearance Tan powder.


Specific gravity 1.5 to 1.7

Application

ID-OM CLYHEC viscosifier is a superior organophilic lay providing viscosity and gel strength in all non-aqueous
fluids. The clay is manufactured by a patented high-energy process using a proprietary surfactant. This result in
rapid yielding of the clay even under low-shear mixing condition. Typical ID-OM CLYHEC additives will achieve
75% of its yield under low-pressure mixing and 100% yield after one circulation. It is also more effective,
requiring lower concentration than other organophilic clays. Hence, it produces lower plastic viscosity,
resulting in lower pump pressure, reduce ECD, and better shaker efficiency.

Typical treatment are 3 to 10 lb/bbl (8.6 to 28.3 kg/m ). For newly mixed fluids, add to the brine and
continuous phase before adding the emulsifiers. This will help to reduce the consumption of emulsifiers and
fluid-loss-control agents. The exact concentration will depend on the type of fluid, oil-brine ratio and mixing
conditions.

ID-OM CLYHEC can be added rapidly through the hopper.

Advantages

 High performance viscosifier for all oil-synthetic and ester-base systems.
