Salt

SALT (NaCl) or sodium chloride, is an inorganic salt with a minimum 98.8% purity.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • Used in salt saturated mud systems, invert oil emulsions, workover and completion fluids.
  •  Prevents washouts when drilling thick salt formations by saturating the mud with salt.
  • In oil emulsions, is used as a salinity source to provide an activity balance between the
    mud’s brine phase and formation water.

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT

The approximate SODIUM CHLORIDE concentration can be calculated by using the
formula: 1.65 X mg/L Cl- = mg/L NaCl

At 22°C, a concentration of 320 kg/m³ is required to completely saturate a system.
