China OBM Viscosifier UBDrill-242: Top Suppliers and Factory for Enhanced Rheology and Suspension Performance
Product Introduction
UBDrill-242 is a polymeric material acting as rheology modifier for oil-base mud.
※ UBDrill-242 is a polymeric rheology modifier designed for oil-based drilling fluid (OBM) systems. It is primarily used to enhance low-shear-rate viscosity (LSRV) and yield point (YP) of invert emulsion systems while maintaining a minimal impact on plastic viscosity (PV).
※ The product is engineered to improve low-end rheology and suspension capacity without significantly affecting other key mud properties such as emulsion stability and HTHP fluid loss. It is fully compatible with standard oil-based mud additives used in modern drilling fluid systems.

- ✦ Wells prone to barite sag or poor solids transport
- ✦ Extended static or long-reach drilling sections
Recommended Handling
⚠️ Dosage & Safety Guidelines:
A typical dosage is according to the ratio of water/oil and density of OBM, but a pilot test is required for optimal results.
All personnel handling this material must handle it as an industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions as described in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
