Barium Chloride

Product Overview

Heavy metal salt for brine formulation and drilling applications.

Detailed Description

Barium Chloride supplier in Oman - Global Chemicals LLC provides high-purity barium chloride for high-density brine formulations and drilling applications in Muscat, Sohar, Duqm. Our barium chloride (BaCl2) is essential for creating clear, high-density completion and workover fluids in oil & gas wells. The compound provides excellent density control (up to 1.70 sg) while maintaining low solids content. Widely used in well control operations, pressure control, and as a component in specialized drilling fluids. Barium chloride also serves in wastewater treatment for sulfate removal. Available in dihydrate form with consistent quality for demanding oilfield applications across Oman. Barium chloride (BaCl₂) is a specialised water treatment chemical used in Oman's oilfield sector for sulphate removal from injection water — particularly critical in seawater injection projects to prevent barium sulphate (barite) scale when seawater contacts formation water containing barium ions. Sulphate removal units using BaCl₂ precipitation are installed at major seawater injection plants in Oman's south (Marmul, Nimr) and north (Fahud, Qarn Alam) to protect injection wells and production facilities from catastrophic barite scale deposition. Global Chemicals LLC supplies barium chloride technical grade in 25kg bags. Strict safety protocols apply — barium compounds are toxic. SDS, COSHH assessment, and handling guidance provided. Supply to registered oilfield chemical accounts.
