CaBr₂
Calcium Bromide — CaBr₂
Bromide salt for high-density clear completion and workover brines. Supplied as solid or liquid concentrate — density and purity must match the well programme.
Application
Clear brine completion and workover fluids where densities above typical CaCl₂ systems are required — typically up to ~1.70–1.80 sg depending on blend. Used standalone or blended with other bromides / formates. Clarity and iron content are critical for downhole tools.
Technical characteristics (quality certificate)
Typical values as stated on a mill quality certificate (passport) for a standard commercial grade. Actual lot values are confirmed in the COA / TDS for the selected manufacturer.
