With the continuous development of the petrochemical industry, the expanding capacityof oil exploitation, the demand for potassium formate is increasing, and the market ofpotassium formate is becoming more and more popular. As the manufacturer, we also wantto tell you what specific uses ofpotassium formateare.

　　In fact, potassium formate is a new additive for drilling and completion fluids, whichhas the advantages of strong inhibition, high temperature stability, goodcompatibility, low corrosivity, good environmental protection and reservoir protection.

　　Potassium formate has been used in drilling and completion fluids abroad since the endof 1990s, especially in high density drilling and completion fluids, and good resultshave been achieved. The drilling fluid system prepared with potassium formate has theoutstanding advantages of strong inhibition, good compatibility, environmentalprotection and reservoir protection. Because potassium formate has a strong ability toinhibit clay hydration, dispersion and expansion, the returned drilling cuttings aresmall round particles, the internal is dry, the drilling fluid is not pasted, theshaker does not run slurry, with strong inhibition, good water loss and wall building,good lubricity, fast mechanical drilling speed, low cost, significant economic benefitsand other characteristics.

　　According to the details above, the following points are summarized:

　　A.Advantages of using potassium formate in oil drilling field

　　a.Improve the penetration rate and protect the bit.

　　b.Have good anti-collapse ability to stabilize shale, improve drilling, completion andworkover operation.

　　c.It is an environmental protection product.

　　B.Used in leather industry as camouflage acid

　　C.Used as reducing agent in printing and dyeing industry

　　D.As a solidifying agent for cement

　　E.Suitable for carbon black manufacturing
