• Can be formulated to a density of up to 1.7 g/ml (efforts are underway to extend the limits).
• Exhibits significantly lower crystallization temperatures than equivalent-density calcium bromide brines.
• Stable at elevated temperatures and during storage.
• Clear-brine Work-Over and Completion Fluids
• Can be mixed with standard mixing equipment.
• Compatible with down hole elastomers and metallurgies and poses low-corrosion risk.
• Exhibits compatibility similar to that of calcium bromide with other working and reservoir fluids.
• Formulated from renewable products, ensuring continuity of supply.
• Can be formulated as a low-solids reservoir drill-in fluid.
• Performs at low temperatures and high pressures without crystallization.
• Benefits
• Bromine-free, hence does not have bromine corrosion.
• Can be reclaimed for reuse, using standard technology.
• Neutral in pH, and compounds thereby posing low health and safety risks to rig site and plant
• Personnel.
• Significantly lower unit cost than alternative fluid chemistries.
• Requires no special mixing, handling, or storage equipment at the rig site.
• Environmentally friendly.
• Formulated from renewable products, ensuring availability of supply.
• Poses low health and safety risks to rig site and plant personnel
