Oil Base Mud (OBM) Products are specialized chemical additives used in formulating non-aqueous drilling fluids, where the continuous phase is oil (diesel, mineral oil, or synthetic oil). OBMs offer superior thermal stability, lubricity, and shale inhibition, making them ideal for HPHT wells, deep formations, and reactive shales.
Provide thermal and chemical stability in high-pressure/high-temperature wells
Minimize hydration and swelling of water-sensitive shales
Offer excellent lubrication in deviated and extended reach wells
Reduce differential sticking and formation damage
