Dry Salt Weight Material
Dry salt weight material can be used to increase the density of a single salt fluid that has been diluted. It can also be used if additional hydrostatic pressure is needed to control a well.


PRODUCT INFORMATION
 
Ammonium Chloride
A dry, 99% purity salt, ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is used as weight material to increase density in completion fluids ranging from 8.4 lb/gal to 8.9 lb/gal. Ammonium chloride is an effective clay stabilizer and can be used to prevent formation damage after an acid treatment.

Calcium Bromide
A dry, 95% purity calcium based salt, calcium bromide (CaBr2) is used to increase density in higher density calcium based completion fluids.

EXPRESS Calcium Chloride
A dry, 94-97% purity calcium based salt, EXPRESS® calcium chloride (CaCl2) is used to increase density in completion fluids.

Potassium Chloride
A dry, 98% purity salt, potassium chloride (KCl) is used as weight material to increase density in lightweight completion fluids. Potassium chloride can also be added to unsaturated calcium or sodium brines as an effective clay stabilizer.

Potassium Formate
A dry, organic, 97% purity salt, potassium formate (KO2CH) is used as weight material to increase density up to 13.1 lb/gal in formate based completion fluids.

Sodium Bromide
A dry, 98% purity salt, sodium bromide (NaBr) is used as weight material to increase density in higher density sodium based completion fluids.

Sodium Chloride
A dry, 99% purity salt, sodium chloride (NaCl) is used as weight material to increase density in sodium based completion fluids.

Sodium Formate
A dry, granular, organic, 97% purity salt, sodium formate (NaO2CH) is used as weight material to increase density up to 11.0 lb/gal and when making solid free completion fluids.
