Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) is a high-purity ground limestone, used to increase the density of drilling and workover fluids, to reduce fluid loss and as a lost circulation material.
Appearance | White powder or fine granules |
Density | 2.7-2.9 g/cm3 |
Particle size | 30-350 mesh |
Application/Function
Used as a weighting agent, a bridging agent to reduce filtration loss (for F, M or C)
Used as a lost-circulation material in both water-based and nonaqueous drilling fluids (for F, M or C) Current uses include wellbore strengthening
Advantages
Environmentally benign
Compatible with formate systems, as well as general water and nonaqueous fluids
Resists attrition
Effective LCM material
Package and Storage
25kg bags, jumbo bags or according to customer’s requirement.
Avoid high-intensity extreme pressure and prolonged exposure to strong sunlight. Keep container closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames.
