Siwa salt for brines, drilling, completion and workover
Siwa Drilling Salt Selected by Brine Chemistry and Particle Size
With a typical source analysis of 99.24% NaCl, Siwa rock salt provides a strong supply basis for brine and oilfield-fluid programmes when chemistry, insolubles, secondary ions and particle size are matched to the system. Biliton confirms each grade against the buyer’s fluid programme and approved limits.
OILFIELD BRINE ROUTE
Brine chemistry and particle size drive the drilling-salt decision.
For drilling, completion and workover programmes, the buyer’s fluid basis comes first. We review target brine concentration, contaminants, dissolution needs, fine/coarse grading and site logistics.

TYPICAL SIWA SOURCE ANALYSIS
Reference analysis of the raw Siwa rock-salt source.
The displayed chemistry and sieve analysis are a typical Siwa rock-salt reference. Final drilling grading, contaminant limits and dissolution criteria are confirmed against the approved fluid programme.

Can fine and coarse drilling grades be supplied?
Fine or coarse distributions are reviewed against dissolution needs, requested sieve distribution, volume and available screening capability.
Is 99.24% NaCl the specification of every drilling lot?
No. It is a typical source analysis. The contractual grade is confirmed against the fluid programme and shipment COA.
What data is needed to select the drilling grade?
Send the fluid type, brine concentration, contaminant limits, particle size, quantity, packing and destination port.
