Different Types of Oilfield Chemicals The process of oil and gas exploration involves a lot of complex chemical as well as other allied tasks comprising of highly advanced equipments that are used for extracting oil and natural gas out of the earth’s surface. Since the matters that come out are always mixture of hydrocarbons, hence, a lot of caution has to be exercised during the process so that no undesirable situation arises and this stems up the necessity of such fluids. Oil and Gas Exploration Processes With the escalating demand of fossil fuels like petroleum and natural gas, subsequently the need of exploration has also accelerated at the same time by leaps and bounds and quite obviously, the petroleum industry is increasingly in the hunt for completion fluids. In order to make up for this rising demand that is going up with each passing day, the chemical industry in the world as well as India is manufacturing these fluids that are also called drilling fluids. Some of the most widely used fluids include Clear Brine Salt Solutions of inorganic elements like sodium, calcium, zinc, etc., which can either be used as single salts or in combination based on the desired demand of the petroleum industries. Usually, the chemical and physical properties of these fluids are the deciding factors for the exploration processes and hence, are prepared accordingly by the chemical industries. Basically, the ability of such fluids to percolate deep into the earth’s surface without getting settled unlike the suspended particles makes it a perfect choice for the petroleum oil and gas exploration processes. As these fluids are having extensive use in the petroleum oil bases, therefore, these fluids are also known as the oilfield chemicals. Ability of Fluids The different types of oilfield chemicals include sodium chloride, calcium bromide, zinc bromide, so on and so forth. Physically, these look similar just like a clear and colorless fluid. When it comes to the chemical properties, the density and specific gravity are the most crucial ones to be looked out for because these are the main driving factors in the process of oil and natural gas exploration that are extremely widespread in the modern times. The completion fluids achieve their name mainly because of their capacity to ensure unhindered completion of the oil and gas exploration processes by way of maintaining the correct hydrostatic pressures within the well-bores, obstructing the dispersion of the solids to prevent the disintegration of the drill bits into finer particles that may in turn affect the drilling efficiency and at the same time, helping in bringing about a stability inside the well-bores by reducing friction and lubricating the drilling components. Due to all these useful characteristics, the Utility of Drilling Fluids are being used in more and more magnitude throughout the world in the numerous oil and gas exploration
