Discription

POTASSIUM CHLORIDE is chemically represented by the formula KCL and is also know by the name muriate of potash.

Application

POTASSIUM CHLORIDE provides potassium ions to inhibit shale swelling and dispersion.

Add POTASSIUM CHLORIDE to obtain the potassium ion level needed to maximize the integrity of drill cutting and to maintain borehole stability.

Recommended treatment

POTASSIUM CHLORIDE can be added throughthe mud hopper. Drilling conditions and system requirements will determine the concentrations needed. It is suggested that the potassium ion level be monitored by approved test menthods, including the specific electrode technique, in order to determine the tourly treatment levels to follows.

KCL expressed as K₂O.
