a strongly basic metal such as sodium or potassium.

aluminum and potassium sulfate compound. Used was water clairfying.

n: water that has a large quantity of salt, especially sodium chloride, dissolved in it;salt water.

n: Dissolving a great quantity of salt, especailly sodium chloride. Usually used to make up salt water drilling fluid.

a mixture of water and a soluble salt. Most common brines are sodium chloride NaCl, potassium chloride KCl and calcium chloride CaCl2. Brine densities may range from 8.33 to > 19 lb/gal (1 to >2.28 g/cc). The USGS definition of a brine is a salinity of mo

n: See potassium hydroxide.

n: mined lignite, usually leonardite, to which chromate has been added or has reacted. The lignite can also be causticised with either sodium or potassium hydroxide.

n: See chrome lignosulfonate.

n: Mined lignite, usually leonardite, to which chromate has been added and/or reacted. The lignite can also be causticized with either sodium or potassium hydroxide. The chrome lignite is used for rheology stabilization and filtration control of the drilling

n: a drilling fluid made up mainly of chemical salts, such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride, or potassium chloride. Clear brine contains little or no clay or other solid material and is virtually transparent. It is often used when drilling into a producing formation because clear brine minimises formation damage. See completion fluid formation damage.

a brine without suspended solids.

n: Schlumberger/Anadrill LWD tool that measures resistivity at two depths of investigation. Also measures spectral gamma ray to give relative proportion of potassium, thorium, and uranium.

n: a group of silicate minerals that includes a wide variety of potassium, sodium, and aluminium silicates. Feldspar makes up about 60 percent of the outer 9.3 miles (15 kilometres) of the earths crust.

a silicate mineral, often modified and sometimes part of the movable particles in a formation.

n: a special drilling fluid that contains a salt or an ester of formic acid (formate),which is chemically combined with another element such as potassium or cesium. Formate fluids are very stable at high temperatures and can be made very dense (heavy) without adding weighting materials such as barite. Formate fluids are used as completion fluids because they minimise formation damage. See completion fluid, formation damage.
