Salt Gel

Applications: Salt Gel requires mechanical shear and agitation for maximum viscosity. It is not a hydratable clay and does not swell by adsorbing water to create viscosity. Salt Gel provides viscosity by the physical nteraction of its rod-like particles. A high-fluid-loss, Salt Gel squeeze can be formulated for combating lost circulation. It can be spotted opposite the loss zone, and light squeeze pressure can be applied to deposit a high concentration of solids. For bridging larger fractures effectively, fibrous and/or granular lost-circulation materials can be incorporated into the slurry. Salt Gel slurries can be formulated in fresh or salt water and can be weighted or unweighted.
