Calcium Bromide

TECHNICAL DATA

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

Calcium Bromide is a single salt (CaBr2) clear brine fluid with a density of 14.2 pounds per gallon.

APPLICATION 

Calcium bromide can be used with calcium chloride brines and dry calcium chloride to formulate non damaging fluids of densities from 11.7 lb/gal to 15.1 lb/gal.

ADVANTAGES 

(1) None damaging to the formation

(2) Be thermally and chemically stable

(3) Can be blended with other solutions containing bromides and chlorides

STORAGE

Stored in corrosion resistant containers and keep closed and firmly sealed.

2.Sodium Bromide

TECHNICAL DATA

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Sodium Bromide (NaBr) powder is a single salt used to brine workover and completion fluids. Sodium Bromide powder has densities ranging from 8.4 to 12.8lb/gal(1,007 to 15,34kg/m3).These fluids are used where formation pressures require densities from 8.4 to 12.8lb/gal (1,007 to 1,534kg/m3) or where the formation waters contain high concentrations of bicarbonate and sulfate ions. NaBr can be mixed with NaCl to obtain densities up to 12.8lb/gal (1,534kg/m3). NaBr /NaCl systems are more economical than pure NaBr solutions.

APPLICATION

Sodium Bromide is used in clear-brine completion or workover operations that require densities between 8.4 and 12.8lb/gal (1,007 to 1,534kg/m3). This system eliminates the potential of formation damage due to the precipitation of carbonate, bicarbonate or sulfate compounds associated with using calcium-base brines where formation waters contain high concentrations of bicarbonate and sulfate ions. Fluids can be formulated with various crystallization points and are available for special applications and winter use. Use gentle agitation for thorough dispersion, Note: Use Mixing Tables to obtain the desired and crystallization temperature.

ADVANTAGES

Mixes readily with all other calcium- and zinc-base brines Eliminates the potential formation damage due to precipitation of carbonate, bicarbonate or sulfate compounds from calcium-base brines where formation waters contain high concentrations of bicarbonate and sulfate ions.

STORAGE

(1) Avoid high-intensity extreme pressure and prolonged exposure to strong sunlight.

(2) Keep container closed.

(3) Keep away from heat, sparks and flames.
