Shale Inhibitors - Oil & Gas

Calcium Chloride Powder is used as an inhibitor to control active shale and clay dispersion. It can be used in polymer mud to minimize the formation of gas hydrates. Calcium Chloride Powder can be used to formulate fluid systems when formation pressures call for densities ranging from 8.4 to 11.8 lb/gal. It is also applicable when the […]

Hyperdrill AF 247RD provides improved shale stabilization/inhibition in drilling fluids without compromising rheology. Its improved rheological properties allow for the addition of higher concentrations with reduced viscosity humping in solids-laden muds.

Potash (KCl) is an odorless white crystal, which forms a neutral salt solution with water. Potash purity is expressed as percent K2O. Generally used to provide potassium (K+) ions in shale-inhibiting drilling muds. The K+ ion provides a strong bonding ion between the clay platelets thus inhibiting the swelling of shales. Use in concentrations of […]
