Salt water drilling mud drilling fluid is that salt water-based fluid. Normally, we classify the types of salt water by the concentration of chloride. The list below shows how much concentration of salt for each type of salty water.
Brackish water: Brackish water is water that has contained more chloride than fresh water, less than sea water and contains typically between 5.000 to 30.000 mg of salt per liter.
Sea water: It is the water of the ocean and has a salinity of + / - 35,000 mg of salt per liter.
water saturated with salt: The salt-saturated water or you can call that "brine" contained much of the chloride content until it reaches the saturated state. He dissolved the salt of> 50,000 mg of salt per liter.
The mud of the salt water is generally used for certain reasons such as prevention of hydrate in deep water application, and drilling in formations of salt. In addition, offshore drilling in particular, using salt water (sea water) as the base fluid and greatly reduces operating costs for logistics.
Typically, brackish water and seawater are used as the base fluid to spud mud, mud, polymer, etc.. They are cost effective and practical for drilling operations. In addition, they continue to act as an inhibitor of shale. Personally, I use them to make several types of water-based mud as the mud spud, not solid low disperséeetcoue, PHPA polymer mud, high disperse mud, mud KCL, etc.. They can be used effectively and achieve your goals drilling.
