High quality potassium formate promotes rapid development of drilling fluid technology
Nowadays, high quality drilling fluid is not prepared by one or two kinds of materials (such as bentonite, commonly known as soil handling). To maintain the performance of drilling fluid, it is necessary to add various additives. Potassium formate drilling fluid is a new kind of additive with multiple effects. Potassium formate has been applied to drilling and completion in foreign countries since the end of 1990s, especially in high density drilling and completion fluid system, and good results have been achieved. With the development of research technology, potassium formate is mainly used in oil drilling, oil field drilling fluid, completion fluid, carbon black surface modifier, snow dissolving agent, mining and so on. The drilling fluid system prepared with potassium formate has the advantages of strong inhibition, good compatibility, environmental protection and reservoir protection. Potassium formate inhibits the hydration, dispersing and swelling ability of clay, and the drill
