M-I SWACO offers an extensive suite of viscosifiers designed to increase the viscosity of water-, oil-, and synthetic-based drilling fluids. We provide a variety of clay, polymer, and biopolymer viscosifiers to improve the hole-cleaning and solids-suspension capabilities of drilling fluids.

Viscosifiers Offerings

POWERVIS
Linear biopolymer viscosifier
Provide higher thermal stability and lower equivalent circulating density with a unique rheology profile.
RAPID SWEEP
Water-soluble polymer stick
A high-viscosity sweep that aids in hole cleaning and minimizes bit balling.
HRP
Oil-fluids liquid viscosifier
Elevated yield point and gel strengths with minimal increase in plastic viscosity.
M-I GEL
Viscosifier
Cost-effective solution for viscosity, fluid loss control, and filtercake quality.
VERSAGEL HT
High-temperature viscosifier
Compatible with oil-, synthetic-, and paraffin-based drilling fluid systems
VG-69
Organophilic clay
Improve carrying capacity, suspension properties, filtercake formation, and filtration control.
VERSAMOD
Rheology oil-based mud viscosifier
Improves cuttings transport in large-diameter and directional wells.
VG-PLUS
Advanced organophilic clay
Improve carrying capacity, gel strength, and suspension of weight material.
VG-SUPREME
Organophilic clay viscosifier
High-performance rheological additive for invert-emulsion and all-oil drilling fluids.
VeraVis
Branched synthetic polymer viscosifier and fluid loss additive
Primary viscosifier for the VeraTherm high-temperature water-based drilling fluid.
DuraMod
Flat rheology system modifier
Excellent antisag features and good ultralow-shear performance.
GELITE
High-yield clay
Higher carrying capacity at lower annular velocities than bentonite clay.
