Classification of Oil Drilling Additives
 

Potassium Formate

Potassium formate brines are very inhibitive in not allowing reservoir shales to hydrate, migrate, and/or swell thus preventing formation damage or hole stability issues when used as a reservoir drilling fluid. In addition saturated potassium formate is very lubricious and provides excellent hydrate inhibition.

Sodium Formate

Sodium formate is a remarkable drilling fluid additive. It improves lubrication, viscosity, and thermal stability. Sodium formate in oil drilling maintains wellbore stability. It prevents shale swelling. Sodium formate is biodegradable. It minimizes the environmental impact of drilling operations.

Chemical Properties of Oil Drilling Additives

●Chemical Formula And Molecular Weight: The chemical formula of sodium formate is HCOONA, and the molecular weight is 68.007. When the crystal contains two crystal waters, it is also called sodium formate dihydrate, or sodium formate hydrate.
●Appearance: Sodium formate is white crystals or powder, with a slight smell of formic acid.
●Physical constants:
●Melting point: ≥253°C
●Boiling point: 360°C
●Density: 1.92g/cm³
●Solubility: Sodium formate is easily soluble in about 1.3 parts of water and glycerol, slightly soluble in ethanol and octanol, and insoluble in ether. Its aqueous solution is alkaline.
●Stability: Sodium formate decomposes into hydrogen and sodium oxalate when heated, and then generates sodium carbonate.

Precautions for Use of Oil Drilling Additives

 

Water quality requirements

When diluting liquid potassium formate, deionized water or distilled water should be used to ensure the quality of the diluent

01

Storage conditions

Store in a ventilated and rainproof warehouse, pay attention to ventilation, and avoid direct sunlight

02

Handling precautions

During transportation, be careful to handle with care to avoid damaging the packaging

03

Environmental protection

Since potassium formate can be completely biodegraded in water, attention should be paid to environmental protection when using it

04

Personal protection

When using liquid potassium formate, appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn, such as acid-proof gas masks, chemical splash glasses, rubber gloves, acid-proof work clothes, etc., to ensure the safety of operators.

Application Scope of Oil Drilling Additives

 

 

In the field of chemical industry

Liquid sodium formate is a common chemical raw material that can be used to synthesize other organic compounds. For example, it can react with acetaldehyde to produce ethyl formate, which is used to manufacture dyes, fragrances, pharmaceuticals, and other products. In addition, liquid sodium formate can react with various acid anhydrides to generate ester compounds with different uses.

Pharmaceutical field

Liquid sodium formate is widely used in the pharmaceutical field. It can be used to make some drug raw materials, such as potassium hydrogen formate, sodium hydrogen formate, etc. In addition, liquid sodium formate can also be used as an intermediate for some drugs to make some analgesics, antibiotics and other drugs.

Pesticide field

Liquid sodium formate also has important applications in the pesticide field. It can be used to make some herbicides, insecticides and other pesticides. For example, liquid sodium formate can react with other compounds to produce a compound with herbicidal effect - oxalic acid.

Food additive field

Liquid sodium formate can also be used as a food additive, mainly as an acidulant and antioxidant. It can increase the acidity of food, improve the taste of food, and also extend the shelf life of food.

Oil drilling fluid field

In many application examples, liquid sodium formate is considered to be more environmentally friendly than chloride and bromide salts, and liquid sodium formate has better thermal stability.

FAQ

 

Q: What are the benefits of using oil drilling additives?

A: ● Reducing torque and drag in wells.
● Preventing formation damage (e.g., shale swelling).
● Controlling fluid loss and viscosity.
● Protecting equipment from corrosion and scaling.

Q: What are the functions of oil drilling additives?

A: Oil drilling additives reduce friction between the drill bit and formation, extending equipment life and lowering energy costs. They also aid in hole cleaning by improving cuttings transport.

Q: How should oil drilling additives be stored?

A: Store in ventilated, dry areas away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. Follow temperature guidelines to prevent degradation. Separate incompatible chemicals.

Q: What is the freezing point of Oil drilling additives(potassium formate)?

A: Oil drilling additives(potassium formate) has also been studied as a potential environmentally friendly deicing salt for use on roads. It has also been suggested for use in a less corrosive liquid desiccant. A 52% solution of potassium formate has a freezing point of −60 °C (−76 °F).

Q: What is the pH of Oil drilling additives(potassium formate)?

A: The pH of a 0.50 M potassium formate solution is approximately 8.5, which indicates it is slightly basic.

Q: Is Oil drilling additives(potassium formate) corrosive?

A: Oil drilling additives(potassium formate) serves as a corrosion inhibitor, an anti-scaling agent, a functional fluid, a processing aid and used in petroleum production.
