Applications/ Functions

CONFI-MOD is used as a viscosifier in invert oil / synthetic base systems. CONFI-MOD is designed to provide increased yield point and gel strengths with minimal plastic viscosity in invert oil / synthetic base systems. CONFIMOD primary application is in low toxicity, low aromatic oils, but may be used with any type of oil to obtain increased carrying capacity and improve the shear thinning and thixotropic characteristics of invert oil / synthetic base systems. CONFI-MOD can be used to prepare newly blended oil / synthetic muds at ambient temperatures, which will contain satisfactory yield point and gel structure values to support weight material until CONFIGEL and or CONFI-GEL HT have fully yielded. CONFI-MOD may be added to an existing oil mud to provide increased yield point and gel strengths for improved hole cleaning. CONFI-MOD may be used to formulate high viscosity sweeps and may also be used to for spacer fluids where viscosified oil mud is needed to separate two fluids. CONFI-MOD enhances the performance of organoclays under initial, low temperature mixing conditions resulting in improved yield point and gel structure. Ideal as a rheological enhancer for new build load out muds, as CONFI-GEL/CONFI-GEL HT may not have fully yielded. Additional of CONFI-MOD to oil muds containing CONFI-GEL will cause the fluid to quickly develop increased gel structures and permit the oil mud to become thixotropic. CONFI-MOD is not an oilthickening agent, but performs by maximizing the thixotropy of fluids which contain organophilic clay. CONFI-MOD will aid in reducing HTHP fluid loss and improving emulsion stability. Initial system make-up: 0.25 4.0 lb/bbl (0.71 - 4.28 kg/m3)

Limitations

Product Data Sheet

CONFI-MOD should not be added to oil / synthetic mud unless the systems contain organophilic clay or oil-wet active drills solids. CONFI-MOD generated rheology has a short term effect, personnel must be aware of this property and ensure that this is considered in all fluid engineering considerations.

Recommended Handling

Consult MSDS before use and use personal protective equipment as advised.

Packaging

CONFI-MOD is packaged in 55 US gallon (208 litre) drums, or 5 US gallon (18.9 litre) cans. Store in a dry location away from sources of heat or ignition. April 2007
