Calcium Bromide Solution
Calcium bromide is used in two main applications -clear brine fluids in oil & gas and as an oxidizer for mercury emissions control.
Calcium Bromide Solution is primarily used as a completion fluid, stationary liquid and work over fluid. It is used to Form Brine completion and Workover Fluids. Calcium Bromide can be used with calcium chloride brines and dry calcium chloride to formulate non damaging fluids.
It can be used as a packer fluid or to adjust the density of other brine systems. It provides inhibition preventing the hydration and migration of swelling clays.
It can be used as a packer fluid or to adjust the density of other brine systems. It provides inhibition preventing the hydration and migration of swelling clays.
Calcium bromide can be used with calcium chloride brines and dry calcium chloride to formulate non-damaging fluids of densities from 11.7 lbs/gal to 15.1 lbs/gal.
Advantages:
- It can be blended with other solutions containing bromides and chlorides
- It is non damaging to formation.
- It is thermally and chemically stable.
Calcium bromide (CaBr2) is a single salt clear brine fluid of 14.2 lbs/gal density. Calcium bromide has the following features/benefits:
It is non-damaging to the formation,
It is thermally and chemically stable,
It can be blended with other solutions containing bromides and chlorides, and
It contains 52 percent by weight calcium bromide in solution.

Calcium bromide is a strong salt solution. Protective clothing, rubber gloves and eye protection are recommended.
Rubber safety boots should also be worn in work areas, since calcium bromide can damage leather.
This product should be handled in areas with proper ventilation. for complete safety and handling guidelines.
For proper disposal guidelines for calcium bromide wastes, consult the appropriate local regulatory authorities.
