Carbonate weighting agent
Carbonate weighting agent is a fine powder based on carbonate mineral rocks (marble), used to increase the density of water-based drilling fluids when drilling wells in the gas and oil industry.
In the modern conditions of the gas and oil industries, there is a need to drill to ever greater depths. For such drilling, the density of the water-based drilling mud becomes insufficient. In order to weigh it down and to achieve a colmating effect, the drilling mud is enriched with a carbonate weighting agent, as a result of which the density of the solution increases to 1.7 g/cm3, and thanks to acid treatment, the solubility of the weighting agent is achieved by 98%.
In general, carbonate weighting agents are used in the opening of productive layers.
Advantages of using carbonate weighting agents for drilling fluids:
- Colmatation of the soil-filling the pores of the walls of the well with water-insoluble particles to achieve the stability of the well to groundwater;
- Preserving the throughput capacity of productive horizons when they are opened;
- The use of carbonate weights improves the connectivity of weakly cemented rocks;
- Prevention of wear and tear of drilling equipment from abrasives and corrosion;
- The use of carbonate weighting agents does not violate the temperature regime of frozen rocks;
- Adding a carbonate weighting agent to the drilling fluid does not change the key characteristics of this fluid required for drilling.
Fractions of the carbonate weighting agent:
The Basis mineral powder plant produces carbonate weighting agents of different fractions:
10-40 microns;
45-75 microns
100-160 microns
300 microns
500 microns
1000 microns
In addition, the Basis Mineral Powder Plant has the ability to produce smaller fractions of the carbonate weighting agent.:
0.7 microns
0.9 microns
2 microns
5 microns.
In addition to the carbonate weighting agent, the following materials are often used in the oil and gas industry:
It is extremely important for service companies that repair and service oil and gas wells to choose a reliable supplier, the quality of which raw materials will not be in doubt. In this matter, it is more correct to cooperate with the manufacturer of materials directly, which will provide the most favorable prices and flexible conditions, unlike intermediaries and resellers.
The plant of mineral powders "BASIS" sells materials made on the basis of marble from its own quarry - Makarovsky marble deposit.
