OBM VISCOSIFIER

OBM Viscosifier, or viscosity reverser, is a substance used in oil-based drilling muds (OBM) to increase the viscosity or stickiness of the mud. The increase in viscosity typically aids in improving drilling efficiency, well maintenance, and controlling cuttings and other solids in the mud. This substance meets NISOC standards and is used to enhance the viscosity of oil-based mud, which is particularly important in shale and hydrophilic formations.

These materials are often in the form of polymers, resins, or specific chemicals. The use of viscosity reversers ensures more uniform flow of the drilling mud, thereby making the drilling operations more efficient. Overall, these substances can help maintain the uniformity of the mud, reduce fluid loss, and increase the stability of the well.
