POTASSIUM FORMATE 75% SOLUTION
Concentrated, solids-free aqueous potassium formate solution for HPHT drilling, reservoir completion, workover, hydrate-control and airfield de-icing applications.
Density without
suspended
weighting
solids.
Potassium Formate 75% is a concentrated monovalent organic salt brine. Its high solution density provides hydrostatic pressure control while the solids-free fluid system avoids the settling and particulate invasion associated with conventional weighting materials.
The 75% liquid is supplied as a ready-to-handle concentrate and may be used to prepare application-specific formate brines after laboratory checks for density, crystallisation temperature, compatibility and required performance.
High-density performance for demanding fluid systems.
Final fluid design should be confirmed using the intended temperature, pressure, metallurgy and reservoir conditions.
Solids-Free Fluid
Avoids suspended weighting solids that can settle or invade formation pore spaces.
HPHT Stability
The source page positions the brine for thermal exposure above 200°C under relevant downhole conditions.
Water-Activity Control
Concentrated formate brine supports inhibition of water-sensitive shale hydration.
Freeze & Hydrate Control
Low crystallisation temperature supports cold-weather and thermodynamic hydrate-control uses.
Lower Halide Loading
Formate chemistry offers a non-halide alternative for clear-brine design.
Pumpable Liquid Concentrate
Supplied as a concentrated aqueous liquid for storage, transfer and fluid blending.
HPHT Completion & Drill-In Brines
Solids-free hydrostatic density for productive reservoir intervals.
Application focus
- Clear completion and drill-in fluids
- Hydrostatic pressure control up to the stated concentrate density
- Reduced risk of barite sag and solid invasion
- Compatibility with polymers and reservoir minerals must be confirmed
Workover & Packer Fluids
Dense, solids-free liquid for selected well servicing and annular fluid systems.
Application focus
- Workover and well-intervention brines
- Long-term packer-fluid design
- Density and corrosion programme optimisation
- Seal, elastomer and metallurgy compatibility checks
Shale & Hydrate Inhibition
Concentrated formate ions lower water activity for selected inhibition duties.
Application focus
- Reactive shale stabilisation
- Thermodynamic gas-hydrate inhibition
- Deepwater and cold-service fluid design
- Establish dose from phase and crystallisation data
Airfield De-Icing
Low-temperature liquid route for runway, taxiway and apron ice management.
Application focus
- Airport runway and apron de-icing
- Crystallisation temperature below −50°C as stated
- Application rate depends on weather and ice load
- Use only against applicable aviation specifications and approvals
