POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, DRILLING FLUIDS
Clay and shale stabilizer and weighting agent for water-based oil drilling fluids.
Main Application:
- Potassium chloride for the oil & gas sector is used in the production of drilling fluids, killing fluids, additives for grouting mixtures, and fluids for hydraulic fracturing
Advantages:
- Stabilizes water sensitive clays and shales
- Allows producing well-killing fluid of up to 1170 kg/m3 density
- Compatible with most drilling fluid additives
- 100% Solubility in water
