What is potassium formate?

⁣Potassium formate is mainly used to prepare injection fluids for water containing oil wells. Since the late 1990s, potassium formate has been applied to drilling and completion fluids, especially in high-density drilling and completion fluid systems, and has achieved good results.

The use of potassium formate to prepare drilling fluid systems has outstanding advantages such as strong inhibition, good compatibility, environmental protection, and reservoir protection. The on-site application results show that potassium formate inhibits the hydration of clay.

Potassium formate is widely used in the textile printing and dyeing industry. It can react with different types of dyes, including reactive dyes, direct dyes, acid dyes, cationic dyes, etc.
