NaCl
NaCl — Sodium Chloride
Inorganic salt for shale inhibition, brine formulation and density control in drilling and completion fluids.
Application
NaCl/polymer muds, saturated brines, completion and workover fluids. Grade and purity must match the operational specification.
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.
