Calcium Nitrate is an excellent source of calcium for clear-water drilling. In moderate quantities nitrates are a plant nutrient and can ultimately be consumed, actually aiding in the goal of revegetation of well sites. Maintain a minimum of 250 mg/L of calcium ion while floc-water drilling. Calcium Nitrate can also be used as a calcium source in invert oil emulsions and as an accelerator for oil well cement.

Mixing & Handling
Calcium Nitrate can be added through the hopper or pre-dissolved in water in the chemical barrel prior to being added. Note that in the presence of excess hydroxide concentration, ammonia gas will be liberated.
Ammonia gas will irritate the nose, throat and respiratory system and can cause eye injury. It is advisable to use a dust mask and eye protection while mixing all powdered products. Store securely away from combustible materials and reducing agents.
