Introduction

Sodium Bromide is a white crystalline solid used to make NaBr brine with densities up to 12.5ppg (1.50SG). Sodium Bromide is generally used in conjunction with NaCl or fresh water to form a solids-free workover or completion fluid with densities up to 12.5ppg (1.50SG).

Applications/Functions

• Add NaBr to NaCl workover or completion fluids or fresh water through the rig hopper while agitating well mixed

Advantages

• The advantage of Sodium Bromide over anhydrous Calcium Salts is their non-damaging effects. Calcium Salts, in the presence of carbonates, bicarbonates or sulfates may cause precipitants in the producing formation. The Sodium Salts avoid this problem.

Typical properties

• Appearance: White, free flowing powder
• Specific gravity: 3.2
• Solution in water: 95 g/100 ml water @75°F(24℃)

Recommended Treatment

• Drilling conditions and mud system requirements dictate concentration levels.

Package

• 25 KG SACK or 1MT BIG BAG/CUSTOMIZED
