Attapulgite for Salt water Drilling (ObsiDrill)
Attapulgite for Salt water Drilling (ObsiDrill)
OBSIDRILL™ is an API Spec 12 compliant, attapulgite-based drilling mud that serves as a superior alternative to bentonite. It’s engineered to perform in environments where bentonite fails, particularly in high-salinity and saltwater conditions. This makes it an ideal choice for both offshore and land drilling operations where significant salt formations are present or fresh water is scarce. Its unique rheology ensures stability and suspension in these challenging environments.
