What is the advantage of potassium formate drilling fluid compared with silicate drilling fluid?

The drilling fluid is the circulating flushing medium for protecting the oil layer, protecting the drill bit and improving the drilling efficiency during the drilling process. There are many non-environmental protection factors in the production and use of traditional drilling fluids, which can cause environmental pollution, damage oil layers, and atmospheric pollution, and also greatly increase drilling costs. Among environmentally friendly drilling fluids, potassium formate drilling fluid and silicate drilling fluid are used more. Compared with the two, what are the advantages of potassium formate drilling fluid?

Silicate drilling fluid
In the last century, silicate is an inorganic non-metal with good compatibility with the environment, non-volatile, safe and non-toxic. The silicate drilling fluid based on this material has good inhibition, non-toxicity, low cost and no toxicity Fluorescence, without affecting logging, etc., are used in drilling fluid systems.

However, with the rapid development of the drilling industry, problems in the silicate drilling fluid system are gradually exposed. For example, the overall performance is difficult to meet the requirements of various complex wells and special process wells. The amount of acid salt increases the cost; it is difficult to control the performance due to the limitation of the use temperature and pH value, especially the rheological properties, etc. limit the use in drilling fluids.

Potassium formate drilling fluid
However, since this century, potassium formate drilling fluid has been used well at home and abroad, and it has been widely used. It has been successfully applied on site in complex wells such as the Junggar Basin, Tarim Basin, Tuha Basin in Xinjiang.

The advantages of potassium formate drilling fluid:
(1) When potassium formate drilling fluid contacts with formation water, no sediment will be formed, and the damage to the reservoir is low.
(2) The biological toxicity of potassium formate drilling fluid is extremely low, harmless and non-toxic to human body, little impact on aquatic community, and little bioconcentration.
(3) The potassium formate drilling fluid is biodegradable, does not pollute the environment, and is recyclable and reusable.
(4) Potassium formate drilling fluid can provide proper density for drilling and completion fluids, no solid weighting agent is needed, and it is easy to realize non-solid phase drilling or low solid phase drilling.
(5) The pH value of potassium formate drilling fluid is easy to adjust and has little corrosiveness to metals and rubber.
(6) The circulating pressure drop of potassium formate drilling fluid is small, easy to configure and simple to maintain.
(7) Potassium formate drilling fluid has low viscosity, good fluidity, and small friction pressure loss. It is suitable for drilling small holes and formations that are easy to lose.
(8) Potassium formate drilling fluid has strong inhibition, wellbore stability, and wellbore diameter. It has been applied in the eastern region successively and has obvious results. It has achieved high quality performance such as low toxicity, high efficiency, anti-collapse, strong inhibition, and protection of gas reservoirs.

Therefore, potassium formate drilling fluid is a more professional and new type of environmentally friendly drilling fluid, which can achieve pollution-free and residue-free during production and use.

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
