Potassium formate for well drilling can prevent borehole wall collapse

In recent years, potassium formate has made some progress in well drilling, which makes it easier to control the rheological properties of drilling fluid. It has good anti-collapse performance, oil and gas reservoir protection, and low corrosiveness. It is also non-toxic, biodegradable, environmentally friendly and recyclable.
In some formations, drilling fluid column pressure can not reach the formation support pressure, which is the main reason for formation instability and wellbore collapse. Therefore, formation collapse is a common problem in underbalanced drilling. There are several remedial measures to solve this problem in collapse-prone shale formation. These measures include controlled pressure drilling, solid expansion pipe drilling and casing or liner drilling technology. Sometimes even when controlled pressure drilling is used, it is still a difficult problem to deal with collapse-prone formations.

What are the specific effects of adding potassium formate to drilling fluid?

1. Adding potassium formate can reduce the activity of drilling fluid, and the mudstone on the wellbore is hydrated to make the wellbore stable.
2. Adding potassium formate can improve drilling fluid density and inhibition.
3. Adding potassium formate can improve the plugging ability of drilling fluid and enhance the toughness of mud cake.
4. Adding potassium formate can improve the rheological properties of drilling fluid, improve its sand carrying capacity, purify wellbore, and add lubricant to enhance the lubricity of drilling fluid and prevent sticking.

Potassium formate belongs to strong alkali and weak acid salts. With the increase of potassium formate concentration, the alkalinity increases. The saturated solution PH value of potassium formate is 10.6, which can further stabilize the stability of drilling fluid and thus stabilize the anti-collapse ability of drilling fluid itself.

What role will industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate manufacturers play in the future coating industry?

图片
The keyword in 2019 is environmental protection and safety. In 2020, environmental protection and safety hurricanes will be more violent. In the manufacturing industry, whether it's packaging, printing, furniture, shipping industry or the phosphate raw material manufacturing enterprises like Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group that produce  industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate , it's a good choice to withstand the environmental storm and the obvious environmental protection conditions of the enterprise itself. Take the paint industry for example, the current paint market can be found that although the domestic paint industry has achieved rapid development and formed a certain industry scale, but in the domestic high-end paint market, the domestic paint brands or enterprises are indeed few, and the domestic high-end paint market is still occupied by most of the market share of imported brands. In fact, all industries need to use coatings, and environmental protection coating

What is the use of calcium formate industrial grade in construction? The manufacturer tells you

  With the development of the city's economy, the construction of highways, bridges, tunnels, and civil construction projects will require stricter use of early strength agents. Especially in winter, in order to improve the construction period, the cement mortar needs to be raised as soon as possible and put into use.   Calcium formate industrial grade   is a good early strength agent. Although both calcium formate and calcium chloride are calcium salts, relatively speaking, the performance of calcium formate is more stable. Because the formic acid in calcium formate is a weak acid. The solution will be weakly alkaline during the hydrolysis in the aqueous solution. It can be widely used in mortar. Calcium formate industrial grade is now a newly developed low temperature early strength accelerator in China, which has been widely used in various construction cement mortars. The earliest known and used chlorine salt early strength agent in construction, but the chloride salt early str

The effect of calcium supplement with feed grade calcium formate is good when crops are short of calcium

  Is it true that crops also need calcium supplements? it is true. Crops are plants, like humans and animals, that need rich trace elements to help them grow. When crops are calcium-deficient, plant growth is hindered, and the internodes are shorter, so they are generally shorter than normal plants and have soft tissues. Since calcium has such a big effect, is it good to use   feed grade calcium formate   to supplement calcium? The meristems such as the apical buds, lateral buds, and root tips of crops with calcium-deficient plants first appear nutrient deficiency, which is perishable, the young leaves are curled and deformed, and the leaf edges begin to turn yellow and become necrotic. For example, calcium deficiency can cause leaf scorch disease in cabbage, cabbage and lettuce; tomato, pepper, watermelon, etc. have heart rot; apples have bitter pox and water heart disease. No matter how much is useless, the crops are short of calcium. If we want to achieve the actual effect, what sho
