Oil & Gas and Industrial Products

Always exploring applications for choline and other raw materials, Balchem manufactures and supplies solutions for a variety of industrial applications.

Oil & Gas: Clay Stabilization

The oil and gas industry uses clay stabilizers to mitigate the challenges that drilling and stimulation cause, such as wellbore instability, cuttings disintegration, bit balling, fines migration, and reduction in permeability. Choline chloride and choline bicarbonate are attractive for use as clay stabilizers for their effectiveness and environmentally friendly qualities.

Choline salts have numerous advantages over potassium chloride (KCl) and other traditional clay stabilizers, including:
• Excellent performance at much lower usage levels than other stabilizers
• More highly biodegradable
• Reduced release of excess chloride released into the environment, up to 75% less than KCl
• Compatibility with a wide variety of other fracturing fluid components, including surfactants, friction reducers, biocides, cross-linkers, and breakers
• Minimized chemical handling, including pre-mixing and saltwater disposal
• Flexibility for use in diverse environments
