Benefits of using boric acid and borates in oil and gas exploration, drilling and production

To those dear customers who work in oil industry, this article must be helpful for your work, and after reading this, you will know what benefits our products can bring to you.

Boric acid and borates play a very important role as key materials in the oil field industry chain. In oil production, boric acid and borates are often used as additives for drilling fluids to regulate their rheological properties, so that drilling fluids can maintain appropriate viscosity and fluidity under different temperature and pressure conditions. Boric acid can be used to regulate the pH of drilling fluids and as a component of Corrosion Inhibitors to help reduce the corrosion of metal equipment in downhole environments. In the oil extraction stage, boric acid can be combined with other chemicals to enhance oil recovery.

Boric acid is often used as catalyst and additive in petrochemical industry. For example, boric acid can be used in the composition of the olefin complex separator, such as silver fluoborate for ethylene separation and alkylation reaction of propylene and benzene Boric acid can also be used to improve the anti-wear properties and thermal stability of the oil, thereby improving the functionality and environmental protection of the oil. In the key processes such as catalytic cracking in oil refining and chemical industry, boric acid, as an acid catalyst, can improve the yield of oil refinery products, reduce production costs and enhance economic benefits. Boric acid can also be used as an acidifier in the petroleum industry, which can reduce the oil viscosity of petroleum and improve the cleanliness of petroleum, thereby increasing the overall performance of petroleum. Boric acid can also be used to produce organoborate crosslinker, which is a new type of complex with Boron as the main body formed by the combination reaction of a variety of chemical materials under certain conditions. The water-based gel fracturing fluid crosslinked by the product combines the advantages of high temperature resistance of organic titanium crosslinking agent and easy breaking of inorganic borate crosslinking agent, so it can better adapt to the requirements of on-site fracturing construction technology and formation, and effectively improve the construction quality and effect. In oil refineries, boric acid can be used as a catalyst for the alkylation of isobutane and butane.

In the field of petrochemical industry, industrial borax can be directly used as a crosslinking agent to make drilling fluid form a gel system with good performance, so as to enhance the rock carrying ability of drilling wave, and it can also adjust the viscosity, density and stability of drilling fluid to a certain extent, so as to improve the performance of mud, so as to make it more suitable for transporting liquid under high temperature and high pressure environment, which is conducive to the efficient development of drilling. In addition, borax can help reduce drilling costs and improve oil recovery.
