- Product Description
Oilfield Solid Potassium Acetate - Premium Drilling Fluid Solutions
SHANXI ZHAOYI CHEMICAL CO., LTD brings you Oilfield Solid Potassium Acetate (CH3COOK), engineered specifically for upstream oil and gas operations. With purity exceeding 99%, our product serves as a critical electrolyte in water-based muds and completion fluids.
Our manufacturing facility, operational since 1988, produces 150,000 tons annually of acetate series products across a 27,000 m² production base. This specialized formulation addresses three major challenges you face: severe shale instability, corrosion from traditional chloride salts, and stringent environmental compliance. By delivering potassium ions for clay inhibition without corrosive chloride anions, our product stabilizes sensitive formations while reducing BOD and COD in waste streams. It's your reliable solution for environmentally conscious drilling operations.
Key Features & Benefits
Superior Shale Inhibition Performance
Our product prevents clay hydration and swelling through effective cation exchange. You'll maintain wellbore integrity even in the most unstable formations where conventional inhibitors fall short.
Exceptional Corrosion Protection
With a corrosion rate to carbon steel of just ≤0.03g/m²·h, you significantly extend your downhole equipment lifespan. This eliminates costly replacements and operational downtime caused by traditional chloride-based additives.
Environmental Compliance Made Easy
You meet strict discharge regulations effortlessly. The chloride-free formula dramatically lowers biological and chemical oxygen demand in your waste streams, making it ideal for offshore and sensitive onshore locations.
Ultra-Low Moisture Content
Our anhydrous formulation contains ≤0.5% moisture, ensuring your drilling fluid salinity remains unaffected. You get consistent performance without unexpected compositional changes.
Rapid Dissolution Efficiency
The high-purity white crystalline structure dissolves quickly at rig sites. You prepare drilling fluids faster, reducing preparation time and labor costs during critical operations.
Extreme Temperature Resilience
Your operations continue smoothly in harsh conditions. The product functions effectively from Arctic environments down to -60°C up through High-Pressure High-Temperature wells, maintaining fluid rheology where glycol alternatives fail.

How It Works?
Cation Exchange Mechanism
When you add our product to drilling fluids, the potassium ions (K⁺) rapidly replace sodium and calcium ions on clay particle surfaces. This exchange reduces the clay's affinity for water, preventing the hydration and swelling that cause wellbore collapse.
Osmotic Pressure Regulation
The dissolved acetate creates osmotic balance between your drilling fluid and formation fluids. You prevent fluid migration into shale formations, maintaining structural integrity throughout your drilling operations.
Non-Corrosive Protection
Unlike chloride salts, the acetate anion (CH₃COO⁻) doesn't aggressively attack steel surfaces. You protect your tubing, casing, and downhole tools from electrochemical degradation while maintaining effective inhibition.
Density Control Without Solids
You achieve desired fluid densities through true solution rather than suspended particles. This clear brine approach minimizes formation damage by eliminating pore-plugging solids, maximizing your hydrocarbon recovery rates.

Applications
Water-Based Drilling Fluids
You incorporate it as a primary shale inhibitor in environmentally sensitive drilling zones. It's particularly effective in reactive shale formations where traditional KCl systems are legally restricted or technically inadequate.
Solids-Free Completion Fluids
Your completion operations benefit from heavy, clear brines that minimize formation damage. You prevent pore plugging while maintaining wellbore pressure control during the critical transition from drilling to production.
Workover and Well Intervention
When you need to re-enter producing wells, the non-damaging properties preserve reservoir permeability. You complete workovers efficiently without compromising future production rates.
Arctic and Deepwater Operations
In extreme cold environments, you rely on its superior anti-freeze properties. The product prevents equipment icing and maintains fluid rheology in conditions where conventional additives crystallize or lose effectiveness.
HPHT Well Applications
Your high-temperature, high-pressure wells demand thermal stability. The product maintains chemical integrity and performance characteristics where other organic salts decompose or lose efficacy.
Airport Runway
This product provides solid ice and snow evacuation for runways
