Potassium formate 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.

Non-antibiotic growth promoter potassium diformate helps pig industry return to its essence

  The high profitability of the pig industry will not last, and the future development of the industry still needs to return to the essence of pig raising. The non-antibiotic growth-promoting agent   potassium diformate  helps return to the essence of breeding and helps control the cost and quality of the pig industry. Biosecurity has become the access condition of today's pig industry. Potassium diformate has the following functions and functions to return the essence of pig farming to the breeding industry: (1) Adjust the palatability of feed and increase animal feed intake. (2) Improve the environment of the animal's digestive tract and lower the pH of the stomach and small intestine. (3) It has anti-bacterial and growth-promoting effects. The addition of potassium diformate can significantly reduce the content of anaerobic bacteria, Lactobacillus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella in each segment of the digestive tract. Improve the resistance of animals to diseases and reduce

The manufacturer tells you the dispersing effect of sodium hexametaphosphate

The dispersing effect of sodium hexametaphosphate is due to its hydrolyzed anions adsorbed on the particle surface. In order to improve the dispersing effect, the hydrolysis degree of the dispersant can be selectively increased. It is believed that we all know that the function of dispersant is to increase the distance between the large particles to be dispersed in the solution and reduce the viscosity of the whole solution. However, the amount of   sodium hexametaphosphate   used in the dispersion of different substances is also different. In the process of material dispersion, the surface of large particles adsorbs the dispersant to form a double electric layer, and anions are closely adsorbed on the surface of particles, which is called surface ions. Ions with opposite charges in the medium are called anti ions. In the process of medium movement, particles and particles, as well as the electric double layer and the electric double layer have the same charge, which will generate elec

The factory tells you food grade sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP requires heavy metal purification

Condiments, meat products, edible oil, dairy products, drinks, etc. are all necessities of daily life. Some food additives will be used in the production and processing process. The use of additives also makes people more concerned about "safety on the tip of the tongue".  Sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP  is widely used in food additives. Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group will show you the main applications of sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP in the food industry: 1. Food grade sodium tripolyphosphate is used in meat products, fish sausage, ham, etc., which can improve the water holding capacity, increase the cohesiveness and prevent fat oxidation; 2. For fruit drinks and cool drinks, it can improve the juice yield, increase the viscosity and inhibit the decomposition of vitamin C. 3. It can prevent discoloration, increase viscosity, shorten fermentation period and adjust taste when used in soybean paste and soy sauce. 4. For ice cream, it can improve the expansion capacity, increa
