    Zinc Bromide Brine: Product Data Sheet (PDS)

    Uploaded by

    Iqbal batcha
    This document provides information on zinc bromide brine, a high density completion and workover fluid. It describes zinc bromide brine's physical properties including its high solubility which allows it to achieve densities up to 20 ppg. While thermally stable and non-damaging to formations, the brine is also acidic and corrosive, requiring corrosion inhibitors and protective equipment. The document compares zinc bromide brine to alternative cesium formate brine and provides packaging, storage, safety, and handling information due to zinc bromide brine's hazardous nature.

    ZINC BROMIDE BRINE


    DESCRIPTION TECHNICAL & ENGINEERING INFORMATION

    Zinc Bromide is a high density completion and work-over Zinc Bromide salt is highly soluble and is used for building
    fluid with densities up to 20 ppg (2.40 sg) when saturated, high density brines up to 20 ppg (2.40 sg) saturated
    for use in high pressure wells. density. Lower brine densities are usually obtained by
    blending Zinc Bromide with Calcium Bromide or other
    bromide/chloride brines.
    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Zinc Bromide is thermally stable and non-damaging to the
    formation, but the brine is acidic and care is required to
    ensure that wellbore tubulars are protected from corro-
