Ammonium Chloride

Product Overview

Inorganic compound used in drilling fluids and metal treatment.

Detailed Description

Ammonium Chloride supplier in Oman - Global Chemicals LLC provides industrial-grade ammonium chloride for drilling fluids, completion fluids, and industrial applications in Muscat, Sohar, Duqm, Salalah. Our ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is widely used as a shale stabilizer in water-based drilling muds, preventing clay swelling and wellbore instability. The compound also serves as a source of nitrogen in fertilizers and as a flux in metal soldering and galvanizing operations. Essential for oil & gas drilling operations, metal treatment, and chemical synthesis. Available in powder and granular forms with consistent quality for demanding applications across Oman. Ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) is used in Oman's oilfield sector as a completion and workover fluid additive, packer fluid component, and well kill fluid. In perforating operations, NH₄Cl brines are used as non-damaging completion fluids that are compatible with formation water and do not precipitate damaging salts. At high concentrations, NH₄Cl brine achieves densities up to 9.0 lb/gal — useful for overbalanced completions. In cementing operations, ammonium chloride accelerates Portland cement setting at low temperatures and retards hydrogen evolution in geothermal and high-temperature wells. Global Chemicals LLC supplies ammonium chloride technical grade in 25kg bags and 1,000kg big bags for oilfield completion and cementing operations across Oman.
