Maintain controlled alkalinity in polymer drilling fluids with magnesium oxide from Di-Corp.
Magnesium oxide can be used as an alternative to lime as a coagulant in clear-water drilling and for alkalinity control in polymer drilling fluid systems where a pH above 11.0 is undesirable.
Any undissolved excess magnesium oxide dissolves gradually, providing ongoing buffering to help maintain a consistent pH level of approximately 10.7.
Source magnesium oxide for your oilfield drilling program from a supplier with more than 65 years of drilling industry experience.
Work with a team that understands drilling fluid products, oilfield conditions, and the role magnesium oxide and other additives play in demanding applications.
Access magnesium oxide alongside drilling fluids, additives, and other products for oilfield drilling applications from one experienced supplier.
Get drilling fluid products from a supplier committed to consistent quality, with many Di-Corp locations following a Quality Policy registered to ISO 9001.
Use magnesium oxide as an alternative to lime when alkalinity control is needed but a pH above 11.0 is undesirable. Its gradual dissolution provides ongoing buffering, helping maintain the system at a pH of approximately 10.7. This buffering action gives you a way to manage alkalinity without raising the pH as high as lime may.
Di-Corp’s magnesium oxide can be used in clear-water drilling, polymer drilling fluid systems, high-hardness water, saturated salt brines, and brine drilling mud. It provides effective buffering in high-hardness and saturated salt brines and can also act as a scoring agent in brine drilling mud.
Treatment levels will vary based on the drilling fluid system and application conditions. Magnesium oxide is effective at low treatment levels, and Di-Corp can provide technical guidance to help determine the appropriate dosage for your system.
Improve your drilling fluid program with a trusted magnesium oxide supplier. Di-Corp provides magnesium oxide and a broad range of oilfield drilling fluids and additives to support demanding operational requirements.
