SODIUM BROMIDE 45 Solution
Product code RXSOL-81-1617-1000
For use in completion and oil drilling fluids and for industrial use
Description
Sodium Bromide Solution is an inorganic compound with the formula NaBr.nH2O. It is a high-boiling colorless, odorless liquid that resembles sodium chloride. It is a widely used source of the bromide ion and has many applications. Sodium Bromide (NaBr) liquid is a single salt used to form clear- brine workover and completion fluids.
Application
Sodium Bromide fluids are used where formation pressures require densities from 8.4 to 12.8 lb/gal (1,007 to 1,534 kg/m) or where the formation waters contain high concentrations of bicarbonate and sulfate ions. NaBr can be mixed with NaCl to obtain densities up to 12.8 lb/gal (1,534 kg/m). NaBr/NaCl systems are more economical than pure NaBr solutions.
Precautions
Sodium bromide is a strong salt solution. Protective clothing, rubber gloves and eye protection are recommended. Rubber safety boots should also be worn in work areas, since sodium bromide can damage leather. This product should be handled in areas with proper ventilation. For proper disposal guidelines for sodium bromides wastes, consult the appropriate local regulatory authorities.
