Cesium

Product Description Potassium Formate is chemically represented by the formula KCOOH. Potassium Formate is available as stock, clear fluid which can be used in workover and completion operations that require a density to 13.2ppg(1.58SG) and a base liquid for drill-in fluids. Formate-base brines are considered to have better HSE characteristics than chlorides and bromides brines for many applications. Although more expensive than alternative brines, potassium formate brines show excellent thermal stabilization effects on natural polymers and the potassium ions provides excellent clay stabilization and swelling inhibition of shales. Sodium formate is available as a dry-sacked material and as a stock liquid. Applications/Functions Used in workover and completion operations that require clear fluids with a density up to 13.2ppg Used as a base liquid for drill-in fluids Widely used in slim hole drilling, horizontal wells, branch hole drilling and stringent environmental requirements area Advantages Excellent clay stabilization and swelling inhibition of shales Compatible with other drilling fluids additives Saturated solution is 76% w/w and readily soluble Low activity of aqueous solution provides enhanced hole stability High core permeability with minimal reservoir damage Environmentally friendly product Typical Properties Appearance: Clear liquid or white crystal; Specific gravity of solid: 1.91; Solution pH: 9-11; Solubility in water: 310g/100ml water at 77�°F Recommended Treatment Drilling conditions and mud system requirements dictate concentration levels Package 1 MT BIG BAG or 1000L IBC TOTES

Potassium formate is a useful chemical compound in the production of potassium metal and in the oil and gas industry, often in aqueous solution (alone, or mixed with cesium formate), to yield a high-density, environmentally-friendly brine that can be used a heat transfer fluid. Potassium formate is available as both a solid and in solution form. Standard Result CsCOOH , not less than 80 >80.00 Ca 0.05
