Potassium Chloride

Potassium Chloride is a soluble salt that is an extremely efficient shale

stabilizer when drilling hydro sensitive clays and shales. Inhibition is

produced through exchange; the potassium ion enters between the individual clay

platelets in the shale so that they are held together , thus eliminating entry

of water from the drilling fluid.

Typical Properties:

Application:

Potassium Chloride is used to prepare solids free workover and completion fluids

with densities up to 9.7lb/gal.

Potassium Chloride brines contribute to formation damage control by stabilizing

the water sensitive clays during workover and completion operations.

Potassium Chloride is used as economical source of potassium for inhibitive

water-base drilling and completion fluids.

Potassium Chloride brines eliminate the risk of scale formation when either the

produced gas or formation waters are rich in carbonate and sulfate ions.
