Potassium formate brine has been used to drill deep HPHT gas wells since 1995
First use : ExxonMobil’s Walsrode field, onshore northern Germany - high-angle deep HPHT slim hole low perm gas wells
TVD : 4,450-5,547 metres Reservoir: Sandstone 0.1-125 mDBHST : 157o C Section length: 345-650 mDrilling fluid: SG 1.45-1.55 K formate brine
Potassium formate from Addcon used in 15 deep HPHT gas well constructions in Germany ,1995-99

First production of non-caking
crystalline K formate by
Addcon
First drilling jobs with
K/Cs formate brine:
Huldra and Devenick HPHT
Formate brines used as packer fluids for HPHT wells in GOM. First well : ExxonMobil’s MO 822#7 (215oC BHST) in 2001
Use of Cs-weighted oil-based completion fluids for oil reservoirs : Visund, Statfjord, Njord, Gullfaks, Snorre , Oseberg, Rimfaks 2001 – present
First use of Cs-weighted LSOBM as perforating completion
fluid (Visund)
First use of K/Cs formate
brine : Completion
job in Shearwater well (Shell
UK)
Cs-weighted LSOBM used as OH screen completion
fluid (Statfjord)
First use of K/Cs
formate brine as
HPHT well suspension
fluid (Elgin)
Individual Draugen oil wells (1993) and Visund oil wells (2003) have similar flow rates of around 50,000 bbl oil/day
First of 14 Kvitebjørn HPHT wells drilled and completed with K/Cs formate brines
The first sustained use of K/Cs formate brine was in the world’s largest HPHT gas field development
