Redefining solution-based thinking
BECAUSE IT’S NATURALLY
BETTER
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.
Our innovative solutions are based on polymers, fibers, colloids
and surfactants derived from naturally-occurring materials. We
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
CRITICAL REASONS TO CHOOSE VEN-CHEM • Ven-Chems provide thermal stability from <300° F to >500° F
• Do not exhibit a melting point
• Little or no effect on Rheology
• Minimum formation damage
• Excellent seepage loss adjunct
• Excellent secondary emulsion stabilizers
• Environmentally friendly – non hazardous, non-toxic
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
oil soluble organic compounds such as, but not limited to, fatty
acid derivatives.
These reactions result in a conversion of normally water soluble/
dispersible humates into ORGANO-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 enhancemers, emulsion stabilizers, and
dispersants 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.
(Hardly) Competitive Products:
Asphalts/Blown Asphalts/Sulfonated Asphalts
Gilsonite-Based Products
Oil-Soluble Polymers
Problems: Asphalts/Blown Asphalts
Problems with formation damage in certain types of formations
Exhibit melting points and become ineffective above melting point
Environmental
Dirty to handle
Problems: Gilsonite-Based Products Have definite melting points
Can become ineffective above melting point
Some concern about formation damage in certain formations due to softening and melting
Too soluble in many oils, becomes ineffective
Problems: Oil-Soluble Polymers Expensive
Some concern about formation damage in certain types of formations
Difficult to remove from formation

PUT US TO THE TEST
ASSURING PROPER PRODUCT SELECTION
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
