Calcium bromide (CaBr2) is a single salt clear brine fluid of 14.2 lbs/gal density. Calcium bromide has the following features/benefits:
- It is nondamaging to the formation,
- It is thermally and chemically stable,
- It can be blended with other solutions containing bromides and chlorides, and
- It contains 52 percent by weight calcium bromide in solution.
Calcium bromide can be used with calcium chloride brines and dry calcium chloride to formulate nondamaging fluids of densities from 11.7 lbs/gal to 15.1 lbs/gal. |
