Use: Invert emulsion oil muds and completion fluids

Calcium chloride is used as the brine phase in invert emulsion oil muds, where it acts to reduce shale swelling.  It is also used to increase the density of brine fluids where heavier muds are not necessary, for example in well completions.

Manufactured specifically for oil industry use, we supply anhydrous calcium chloride pellets which meet ASTM D 98-05, AASHTO M144 and GOST 450-77 requirements for calcium chloride purity (ASTM classification Type S, Grade 3, Class B).  The product is available in a choice of 25Kg sacks, 50lb sacks or 1 tonne big bags.
