Kcooh Potassium Formate Orgamic Salt

Product Description

Product Description

Potassium Formate is chemically represented by the formula KCOOH. Potassium Formate is available as stock, clear fluid which can be used in workover and completion operations that require a density to 13.2ppg(1.58SG) and a base liquid for drill-in fluids. Formate-base brines are considered to have better HSE characteristics than chlorides and bromides brines for many applications. Although more expensive than alternative brines, potassium formate brines show excellent thermal stabilization effects on natural polymers and the potassium ions provides excellent clay stabilization and swelling inhibition of shales.  Sodium formate is available as a dry-sacked material and as a stock liquid.

Applications/Functions

 

• Used in workover and completion operations that require clear fluids with a density up to 13.2ppg
• Used as a base liquid for drill-in fluids
• Widely used in slim hole drilling, horizontal wells, branch hole drilling and stringent environmental requirements area

Advantages

 

• Excellent clay stabilization and swelling inhibition of shales 
• Compatible with other drilling fluids additives
• Saturated solution is 76% w/w and readily soluble
• Low activity of aqueous solution provides enhanced hole stability
• High core permeability with minimal reservoir damage
• Environmentally friendly product

Typical Properties

 

• Appearance: Clear liquid or white crystal; Specific gravity of solid: 1.91; Solution pH: 9-11;
• Solubility in water: 310g/100ml water at 77°F

Recommended Treatment

 

• Drilling conditions and mud system requirements dictate concentration levels

Package

 

• 1 MT BIG BAG or 1000L IBC TOTES
