Anion

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000124

An atom or molecule that has gained one or more electrons, resulting in a net negative electrical charge. In drilling fluids, common anions include chloride (Cl-), sulfate (SO42-), and carbonate (CO32-), which can influence fluid properties and contribute to corrosion or scale formation. Their concentration is often measured to monitor fluid chemistry.
