ULTRASAL®
- Specially sized sodium chloride particles for oil field applications
- Serves as water-soluble primary bridging solids for Thixsal-Ultra® Systems used in Completion and Workover Fluids
DESCRIPTION
Ultrasal is a sized salt blended with anti-caking additives. Ultrasal is available in three grinds of evaporated salt (99.9% NaCl) and is packaged in either 50 lb/25 kg sacks or ton/metric ton totes.

BASE FLUIDS
Ultrasal is designed to complement Thixsal-Ultra in drilling, completion, and workover fluids prepared in saturated sodium chloride brine. Potassium chloride, calcium chloride, and sodium bromide may also be utilized as long as they are saturated with respect to sodium chloride.
APPLICATIONS
Ultrasal is used in combination with Thixsal-Ultra Systems to provide water-soluble primary bridging particles of various oil field grade salt sizes which can be blended together to reduce filtrate and solids invasion into the producing formation.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Ultrasal is readily dispersed into fluids through a conventional mud hopper. Normal concentrations range from 15 to 46 lb/bbl depending upon the formation pore size openings to be sealed.
