Calcium Bromide (CaBr₂) is a high-density chemical primarily used in oil and gas drilling as a clear brine for well completion and workover operations, with additional applications in mercury emissions control and chemical manufacturing.
Calcium Bromide (CaBr₂) is a high-density chemical primarily used in oil and gas drilling as a clear brine for well completion and workover operations, with additional applications in mercury emissions control and chemical manufacturing.
As a single-salt clear completion fluid, Glossy Calcium Bromide provides a non-damaging, solids-free brine with densities reaching up to 14.2 lb/gal (1.70 g/cm³). It provides excellent thermal and chemical stability, minimizing formation damage during perforation and workover operations.
High-density clear solids-free completion fluid, workover brine, gravel-pack carrier fluid, and packer fluid.
High-density kill fluid providing precise hydrostatic pressure balance to safely prevent well blowouts.
Injected in coal-fired power utilities to promote oxidation of volatile elemental mercury into capture-ready forms.
Used as an efficient dehydrating agent, specialty photographic reagent, and flame retardant precursor.
