CITRIC ACID (C6H8O7) is a multi-purpose weak organic acid which is widely used in oilfield completion and stimulation operations.
• Is relatively non-corrosive and is readily biodegradable.
• Can aid in reducing water requirements and in retarding oilwell cements.
• Is widely used in oilfield completion and stimulation operations as an iron sequestrate.
• Can be used in pH adjustment of drilling fluids, completion fluids and industrial oilwell
waste fluids.
