Organoclay Supplier for Iran

CP Organoclay exports organophilic clay to Iranian E&P contractors and oilfield service companies. Direct Chinese manufacturer. 20+ years export experience. Iran has domestic bentonite deposits, but specialty high-performance organoclay grades for HTHP drilling and API 13A-certified applications are imported — primarily from China. CIF Bandar Abbas in 15–20 days. 20,000 MT/year capacity. ISO 9001:2015 certified. API 13A-tested drilling grades.

What is organoclay used for in Iranian oil drilling? Organoclay (organophilic clay) is used in Iran as a viscosifier and gelling agent in oil-based and synthetic-based drilling mud systems. NIOC (National Iranian Oil Company) and its subsidiaries — NISOC, IOOC, PEDEC — operate extensive drilling programmes across the Zagros fold belt (Khuzestan, Ilam, Lorestan), Persian Gulf (South Pars, Salman, Dorood), and Caspian Sea regions. Iran has domestic bentonite production but imports specialty organophilic clay grades for high-performance OBM applications. CP-982 and CP-992 serve standard Iranian OBM; CP-EL and CP-GL handle HTHP South Pars and deep Zagros wells. Treat rate: 5–15 kg/m³.

Which Organoclay Grades Work for Iranian South Pars Gas Field Drilling?

South Pars — the world's largest natural gas field — requires highly capable drilling fluid systems for deep, high-pressure gas wells. OBM systems in South Pars Phase development wells operate at extreme temperatures and pressures. CP-EL and CP-GL are specifically suited for these HTHP conditions, maintaining viscosity and gel strength at temperatures above 150°C. Contact us for South Pars-specific grade recommendations and technical data.

How Does CP Organoclay Serve Iranian Zagros Oilfield Drilling?

The Zagros fold belt — including the major Gachsaran, Aghajari, Marun, and Ahvaz fields — contains Iran's largest onshore oil accumulations. Drilling in these carbonate and fractured-limestone reservoirs uses invert emulsion OBM systems where organoclay provides primary viscosification. CP-982 and CP-992 are the standard grades for Zagros OBM. For high-density OBM in high-pressure formations, CP-992 and CP-EL provide superior rheological performance.
