Cesium formate brines from Cabot Specialty Fluids are ideally suited for challenging HPHT drilling, completion, workover and fraccing operations. Time and time again these unique products have improved economics and reduced risk in HPHT well construction projects. Here's a list of the most compelling reasons to choose cesium formate brines from Cabot Specialty Fluids:

• Improve well control – the risk of a well control incident happening in your HPHT well is much reduced when you use formate brine as a drilling and completion fluid.
  
  
• Lower ECD – the use of low-solids drilling fluids based on formate brines reduces ECD by around 0.04 – 0.06 s.g. / 0.3 – 0.5 ppg in a typical deep HPHT well.
  
  
• Minimise formation damage and avoid screen plugging – most users report well productivity indices that exceed expectations after drilling and completing in formate brine.
  
  
• Improve well integrity – avoid the risk of catastrophic localised corrosion and stress corrosion cracking in well tubulars exposed to acid gases.
  
  
• Set new higher HSE standards and reduce liability – no other high-density fluids come close to matching the high HSE standards set by cesium and potassium formate brines.
  
  
• Reduce risk and uncertainty – Formate brine is a reliable and mature product, deployed and field proven in over 120 HPHT operations since 1999 at well temperatures of up to 235°C / 437°F and pressures up to 1,100 bar.
