Calcium Bromide Liquid Product Data Sheet

Calcium bromide liquid, weighing 14.2 lb/gal (1702 kg/m3) is used for
Product blending clear brine workover and completion fluids ranging from 8.4 -
Description 14.2 lb/gal ( 1008 – 1702 kg/m3) and for blending with other divalent
brines for higher density applications to 19.2 lb/gal (2301 kg/m3).

POINT

Calcium bromide liquid is used during workover and completion


operations which require densities from 8.4 - 15.1 lb/gal (1008 - 1812
kg/m3). It provides inhibition preventing the hydration and migration of
Applications/ swelling clays and can be used for packer fluids or to adjust the density of
Functions other brine systems. Calcium bromide can be used with sacked calcium
chloride to obtain densities up to 15.1 lb/gal (1812 kg/m3). When used with
zinc bromide brine, densities to 19.2 lb/gal (2301 kg/m3) can be achieved.
Use gentle agitation when mixing for thorough dispersion. May also be
used in the aqueous phase of invert emulsion systems.

Advantages Is a proven system for providing clear fluids of relative high densities.

Recommended Refer to Scomi Oiltools Engineering Manual Section 18 for brine blending
Treatment tables.

¾ Usage of Calcium bromide may be restricted by local HSE rules.


¾ If combined with monovalent salts may cause precipitation.
Limitations ¾ Compatibility with work over chemicals and rubber components.
should be confirmed prior to use.
¾ Crystallisation point of brines generated may be too low for proposed
application.

Recommended Consult MSDS before use and use personal protective equipment as
Handling advised.

Calcium bromide liquid is available as a bulk liquid and in 55 US gallon


Packaging or 208 litre drums.
