ORGANOCLAY – WEGO 190
Wego 190 is an organoclay (tetraallkyl ammonium bentonite) for oil- based drilling mud (fluid). |
1. Advantages:
o Good suspension, thixotropy and stability in crude oil, diesel oil systems. |
o Easy of incorporation. No need for polar activator or making pregel. |
o Furnish the drilling mud(fluid) with good suspension, wall-protection and antifiltration properties. |
o Maintain stable physical performance under the pressure of 10″ at the temperature of 230oC. |
