- Specially sized sodium chloride particles
- Serves as water-soluble primary bridging solids for
Thixsal-Ultra® Systems
DESCRIPTION
Ultrasal is a sized salt blended with
anti-caking additives. Ultrasal is
available in four 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 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 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.
