Zinc chloride

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-004203

A salt used in the formulation of clear brine fluids for well completion and workover operations, particularly when high densities are required. It contributes to the overall density of the brine, allowing for effective well control without introducing solids. Zinc chloride brines are often blended with other salts like calcium chloride to achieve specific densities.
