    CONFI-GEL HT is an organophilic clay additive used to increase viscosity and gel strength in invert oil and synthetic drilling muds. It improves hole cleaning capabilities and provides support for weighting materials. CONFI-GEL HT is generally used in concentrations between 2-10 lb/bbl, but can be up to 15 lb/bbl for specialty applications like casing packs. It increases viscosity through absorption of oil and requires adequate agitation and shear to develop its rheological properties.

    CONFI-GEL HT Product Data Sheet

    CONFI-GEL HT is an organophilic Hectorite used as viscosifier in invert oil


    Product base or synthetic base mud. It is an amine-treated Hectorite used to
    Description increase carrying capacity and suspension properties, providing support for
    weighting materials and improvement in hole cleaning capabilities.

    COMMON NAME Organophilic CHEMICAL Quaternium -18


    Typical Hectorite Clay FORMULA Hectorite
    Properties APPEARANCE Powder SOLUBILITY IN Dispersible
    WATER @ 20 0C
    SPECIFIC GRAVITY 1.70 COLOUR Creamy white

    CONFI-GEL HT is used to increase viscosity and gel strength in invert oil


    Applications/ base or synthetic base mud. It has proven successful in preparing drilling,
    Functions coring workover and completion fluids such as casing packs, packer fluids
    and spotting fluids. Good agitation and sufficient shear are required to
    develop viscosity when using CONFI-GEL HT to build fresh mud.

    ¾ Provide suspension of weighting materials.


    Advantages ¾ Increase hole-cleaning capacity.
    ¾ Temperature stable.
    ¾ Effective gelling agent in casing packs and packer fluids.
    ¾ Improves filter cakes quality and filtration characteristics.

    Recommended ¾ The concentration used is generally in the range 2 - 10 lb/bbl (5.7 –


    Treatment 28.5 kg/m3).
    ¾ Specialty application such as packer fluids and casing packs is in
    the range of 10 - 15 lb/bbl (28.5 – 42.75 kg/m3).

    ¾
    ¾ The effectiveness of CONFI-GEL HT is reduced when added to a
    mud system, which is severely water wet.
    Limitations ¾ Over treatment may lead to rheological problems.
    ¾ Requires shear and temperature to yield to its optimum level.
    ¾ Higher concentrations required in high oil water ratio systems.
    ¾ Allow newly formulated fluids two full circulations before attempting
    to remediate low rheology.

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

    CONFI-GEL HT is packaged in 50 lb (22.7 kg) or 25 kg (55 lb) sacks.


    Packaging Store in a dry location away from sources of heat or ignition.
