Feature And Benefits
SODIUM CHLORIDE is used in drilling fluids and brine form as a completion or workover fluid to a maximum density of 10 lb/gal (1.20 SG). SODIUM CHLORIDE restricts shale hydration by decreasing the water activity. SODIUM CHLORIDE reduces the potential of forming gas hydrates in deep water drilling.
Product Function
SODIUM CHLORIDE is used to increase the density and shale inhibition in water based drilling fluids. SODIUM CHLORIDE reduces the freezing point and gas hydration in water and oil base muds.
Recommended treatment
Add 352 kg of SODIUM CHLORIDE to 1 m³ of water to get a maximum density of 1.20.
Shipping References
Transportation of SODIUM CHLORIDE is not restricted by any regulatory agency.
