Upstream

Potassium chloride is extracted from minerals sylvite and potash. It is also extracted from salt water and can be manufactured by crystallization from solution.

In oil and gas drilling, potassium chloride is one of the key components of water-based drilling muds: potassium ions reduce swelling of clays and shales and help keep the wellbore stable.

We supply potassium chloride and other drilling mud chemicals for upstream operations in the Middle East. Please contact us for specifications, packaging and delivery terms: info@iccmiddleast.com.
