CONFI-RM is used as a viscosifier in invert oil / synthetic base systems.

Applications/ CONFI-RM is designed to provide increased yield point and gel strengths
Functions with minimal plastic viscosity in invert oil / synthetic base systems. CONFI-
RM 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-RM 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 CONFI-GEL and or CONFI-GEL HT have fully yielded. CONFI-RM
may be added to an existing oil mud to provide increased yield point and
gel strengths for improved hole cleaning. CONFI-RM 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.

¾ CONFI-RM enhances the performance of organoclays under initial,

Advantages low temperature mixing conditions resulting in improved yield point
and gel structure.
¾ Ideal as a rheological enhancer for new build load out muds, as
CONFI-GEL/CONFI-GEL HT may not have fully yielded.
¾ Additional of CONFI-RM 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-RM is not an oil-
thickening agent, but performs by maximizing the thixotropy of fluids
which contain organophilic clay.
¾ CONFI-RM will aid in reducing HTHP fluid loss and improving
emulsion stability.

CONFI-RM Product Data Sheet
¾ CONFI-RM should not be added to oil / synthetic mud unless the
Limitations systems contain organophilic clay or oil-wet active drills solids.
¾ CONFI-RM 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 Consult MSDS before use and use personal protective equipment as
Handling advised.

Packaging CONFI-RM is packaged in 55 US gallon and 208 litre drums. Store in a dry
location away from sources of heat or ignition.
