DESCRIPTION
Citation preview
VENTURE CHEMICALS is a specialty chemicals company
that develops and supplies additives and advanced
materials for drilling fluids, water treatment, organic
fertilizers and other industrial applications.
Its innovative solutions are based on polymers, fibers,
colloids and surfactants derived from naturally-occurring
materials. They provide superior performance over other
synthetic or traditional products in an environmentally
friendly manner.
Venture Chemicals specialize in organo-lignites (amine treated lignites)
We are one of the few suppliers in the world with mass production capabilities
We have a 30- year history in developing and producing these products
WHY VEN-CHEM
• Ven-Chem’s provide thermal stability from <300° F to >500° F; do not exhibit a melting point
• Minimum formation damage; excellent seepage loss adjunct
• Environmentally friendly – non hazardous, non-toxic
• Excellent secondary emulsion stabilizers
• Little or no effect on Rheology
The Ven-Chem Advantage
VENTURE CHEMICALS, INC. produces a family of organo-lignite
(amine lignite) derivatives based on the reaction of humic acids
(derived from oxidized lignite) with various high molecular weight
organic compounds such as, but not limited to, fatty amines.
These reactions result in a conversion of normally water soluble/
dispersible humates into ORGAN-HUMATES that are
soluble/dispersible in non-aqueous solvents such as oils. These
organo-humates are black, free flowing powders that produce
colloidal dispersions in non-aqueous systems.
Colloidal Organo-humates
OUR ORGANO-HUMATES are a useful specialty fluid loss additive
for oil base drilling fluids. Due to their colloidal nature and controlled
solubility in diesel and mineral oils, they can be used to control the
fluid loss properties of oil base fluids exceeding temperatures of 500°
F. With special application techniques, they can be used considerably
above 500° F in certain cases.
Colloidal Organo-humates
ORGANO-HUMATES also have potential utility as specialty fluid loss
additives in oil base fracturing fluids.
Colloidal Organo-humates
Some of the useful SECONDARY PROPERTIES our organo-humates
provide are as emulsification enhancement, emulsion stabilizer, and
dispersant in certain types of oil based drilling fluid systems.
ORGANO-HUMATES can also be used in special slug treating
situations in water based drilling fluids. They can be incorporated into
an oil pill and added with a special slugging technique whereby the
pill is pumped around the hole. This is particularly useful in cases of
differential pressure sticking in pressure depleted sands.

Top of the line premium oil base fluid loss additive
For use at temperatures exceeding 500° F
Wide range of solubilities depending on the system and the additives used
Organo-humate originally designed as a non-asphaltic, oil dispersible fluid loss additive for oil muds and invert oil mud systems. It has a compacted bulk density of 55 lb./cu. ft. and a moisture content of 8-10%. Recommended for use in organic systems at temperatures above 400° F.
Recommendations on Selection of Specific Product:
Testing is highly recommended to pick best cost/performance product
The specific additives, orders of additions, temperature, shear time and
other factors can influence solubility and performance
KEY SELLING POINTS
• Modification of the Ven-Chems to meet certain systems and end-specification is possible
• Willing to modify or tailor-make product to fit a given system when significant pre determined volume is involved
• Venture Chemicals does private label our products
