Sodium Chloride
Catalog NO.: AIMRSE-CHM-ADD-117 Manufacturer PN: CHM-SOD-CHL
• Inhibits shale dispersion, used in polymer mud systems to reduce hydrate formation; can delay the dissolution of salt layers when encountering large areas of salt layers. Used in the aqueous phase of oil-based drilling fluids for balancing ion exchange.
Formulates saturated brine for drilling through extensive salt layers. Prepares completion or workover brines with maximum specific gravity up to 1.2 g/cm³. Blends with potassium chloride to inhibit water-sensitive formations. When encountering carbonate, bicarbonate, or sulfate formations, calcium ion brines may precipitate; sodium chloride brines avoid this issue.
Sodium chloride, chemical formula NaCl, commonly known as salt. Its primary functions in oilfield chemistry include: 1. Inhibiting shale dispersion; 2. Reducing hydrate formation in polymer mud systems; 3. Delaying salt dissolution when encountering extensive salt layers; 4. Balancing ion exchange in oil-based drilling fluid water phases.
