Potassium formate drilling fluid density can meet the need of balancing formation pressure

In drilling engineering, drilling fluid density and mud specific gravity are two equivalent terms. Potassium formate drilling fluid can ensure a very important substance for safe and rapid drilling and protection of oil and gas layers in drilling engineering construction. Let me talk about what the potassium formate drilling fluid does. The popular saying is that when drilling, the drilling pump is pumped into the well from the drill string through the drill bit, and then the fluid that returns to the surface through the annulus. Therefore, the density of potassium formate drilling fluid can meet the need of balancing formation pressure.

The specific functions are:
1. Carry the drilled cuttings to the ground.
2. Cooling drill
3. Maintain the well wall 
4. Establish a pressure balance downhole to prevent formation fluids (oil, gas and water) from entering the well uncontrollably (because formation fluids are under pressure, blowouts occur if the control is not good). The drilling fluid density is mainly used to control the latter two.

The effect of potassium formate drilling fluid density on the hydrostatic column pressure. Simply put, the pressure of a hydrostatic column with high density is naturally high, and the pressure on the well wall and bottom is naturally high. A glass of water with a density of 1.0, and a glass of solution/colloid with a density of 1.2, of course, the weight is different. Increase the density, increase the input of high-quality clay, and gradually increase the density of the drilling fluid; reduce the density of the drilling fluid, inject clear water into the borehole, increase the mud discharge, and thereby dilute the drilling fluid.

Normally, the designed density of potassium formate drilling fluid can meet the need of balancing formation pressure, and safety factors including suction pressure have been taken into account. Don't blindly increase the density in order to prevent blowouts and collapse of the wall. This is also not a good thing for the well crew and mud crews, which affects the drilling speed of the machine and the formation pressure.

Drilling fluid is the circulating flushing medium used in the hole during drilling. The performance requirements of the drilling fluid are to meet the design. Now that everyone is speeding up and reducing costs, potassium formate solid-free drilling fluid is more popular.

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
