Sodium formate powder CAS 141 53 7 from well established manufacturer

Sodium formate is a high-purity, dry crystalline organic salt used to formulate brine used in drilling, workover and completion operations which require densities ranging from 8.4 - 11.0 lb/gal (1004 – 1320 kg/m³).

Typical Physical Properties

Application 

Formate brine make non-corrosive drilling and completion fluid formations that is stable in HTHP operations. Formate brine stabilizes shales, extend polymer stability and enhance borehole stability. Formate brine improves well productivity with excellent compatibility at reservoir conditions with reservoir fluids. Formate brine provides an excellent chloride free, environmentally benign, and alternative to traditional high density brines.

Sodium formate  fluids are excellent shale stabilisers for water-sensitive clay/shale formations and clay-containing sandstones. They provide an environmentally safe alternative to chloride brines.
