- Product Description
Oilfield Solid Potassium Formate – Premium Drilling & Completion Fluid Solution
SHANXI ZHAOYI CHEMICAL CO., LTD delivers premium Oilfield Solid Potassium Formate (CAS NO.: 590-29-4) engineered specifically for high-performance oilfield operations. With our 1988-established manufacturing expertise and 150,000 tons annual production capacity across a 27,000 m² facility, we produce white crystalline HCOOK with ≥97% purity that creates clear brine fluids up to 1.57 g/cm³ density.
Our product solves critical challenges in High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) wells where traditional fluids fail. You'll eliminate stress corrosion cracking risks in downhole alloys while preventing shale hydration and borehole collapse. This thermally stable solution (up to 210°C) offers superior osmotic stability and environmental compliance for offshore operations.
Key Features & Benefits
Prevalent Warm Performance
Your boring operations in extraordinary situations advantage from extraordinary steadiness up to 210°C. This warm resistance secures polymers like Xanthan gum from corruption, keeping up liquid properties in HPHT wells.
Enhanced Shale Inhibition
You get capable osmotic weight that dehydrates clay platelets viably. This avoids wellbore swelling and keeps up keenness amid extended-reach penetrating through responsive formations.
Environmental Compliance
Our biodegradable, low-toxicity equation meets North Ocean PLONOR guidelines. You can work unquestionably in ecologically touchy seaward zones with strict release regulations.
Minimal Arrangement Damage
With water insolubles underneath 0.2%, you'll dodge pore throat stopping. This makes solids-free completion liquids that minimize skin calculate and maximize well productivity.
Corrosion-Free Operation
Unlike chloride-bromide brines, our item kills stretch erosion splitting in costly downhole amalgams. You diminish gear substitution costs and expand operational life expectancy.

How It Works?
Thickness Control Mechanism
When you break down our strong potassium formate in water, it makes high-density brines without suspended solids. The formate particles increment liquid thickness whereas keeping up clarity, permitting exact Comparable Circulating Thickness (ECD) administration in your wellbore.
Clay Hindrance Process
The potassium cations trade with sodium particles in clay structures. In the interim, formate anions make osmotic weight that dehydrates clay platelets, avoiding them from swelling and scattering into your penetrating fluid.
Thermal Security Action
Our product's antioxidant profile scavenges free radicals at lifted temperatures. This defensive instrument keeps up the thickness and filtration properties of your polymers indeed in HPHT conditions surpassing 200°C.
Corrosion Prevention
The soluble buffer (pH 9-11) neutralizes acidic store gasses like CO₂ and H₂S. You dispense with the electrochemical responses that cause stretch erosion breaking in chrome combinations and tubulars.

Applications
HPHT Drill-In Fluids
Use our product in complex wells with bottom-hole temperatures exceeding 200°C. You'll prevent barite sag and maintain rheological stability throughout challenging drilling sections.
Water-Based Mud Enhancement
Replace potassium chloride in your shale drilling programs. You gain superior clay inhibition while eliminating chloride-related corrosion in high-salinity environments.
Completion & Workover Brines
Formulate high-density, solids-free fluids for your well completion operations. This minimizes formation damage and simplifies cleanup procedures after perforation.
Deepwater Operations
Lower the crystallization point of your fluids for cold-water applications. Our Oilfield Solid Potassium Formate maintains fluidity in deepwater environments where conventional brines freeze.
Salt-Gypsum Layer Drilling
Stabilize troublesome evaporite formations with osmotic brines. You prevent salt creep and maintain gauge hole in these challenging geological sections.
