Grain Sizes
Typical Specifications Required
| Parameter | Typical Requirement | Note |
|---|---|---|
| NaCl Purity | ≥ 97.0% | Drilling mud and completion fluid grade |
| Grain Size | 0.3 – 5 mm | Fine/medium for brine; coarse for pill application |
| Moisture | < 0.5% | Controlled moisture for predictable brine density |
| Insolubles | < 0.3% | Low insolubles for clean brine preparation |
| Bulk Density | 1.0 – 1.2 t/m³ | Consistent for mixing calculations |
| Calcium + Mg | < 500 mg/kg | Reduces formation damage risk in sensitive reservoirs |
| Sulfate | < 1,000 mg/kg | Controls barite scaling potential in produced water |
| Heavy Metals | OSPAR compliant | Offshore discharge limit compliance available |
Drilling Fluid (Mud)
NaCl brine as water-based mud base fluid. Precise salinity control for formation compatibility, shale stabilization, and inhibition of clay swelling.
Completion & Workover Fluids
Saturated NaCl brine (26.4% at 20°C) for perforation, gravel pack, and well completion operations. Meets API 13B-2 and ISO 13500 standards.
EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery)
Low-salinity waterflooding (LSW) and polymer flooding applications. Consistent NaCl base for formulation control and reservoir sweep efficiency.
Pipeline Hydrate Inhibition
High-concentration NaCl brine injection for thermodynamic hydrate inhibition in subsea and arctic pipeline systems.
Offshore & Remote Supply
Bulk vessel supply direct to offshore supply base. Container supply for smaller fields and onshore locations. Full MSDS and dangerous goods declarations.
API / ISO Documentation
Material datasheet, MSDS/SDS, composition COA, and supply declaration available for HSE and COSHH compliance in drilling programs.
