In recent years Brotherton have been involved in the production of potassium formate brine as an alternative to the more traditional fluids which require additional weighting agents. The new formate brines are naturally weighted which reduces sag in drilling operations. Added advantages with the use of formate brines include increased productivity, corrosion protection and unrivalled safety and environmental performance. Potassium formate is also available from Brotherton in crystal form. Other products in the range include potassium carbonate and potassium bicarbonate.
