Potassium Iodide

Pਏਔਁਓਓਉਕ਍ Iਏ਄ਉ਄ਅ is used as a source of iodide ion as a

tracer for formation evaluation.

Pਏਔਁਓਓਉਕ਍ Iਏ਄ਉ਄ਅ is used in controlled concentrations in

drilling fluid such that the invasion of drilling fluid filtrate can
be determined during formation water evaluation.

APPLICATIONS P I provides an
effective, non-hazardous tracer.
P I does not effect
the properties of water based
drilling fluids.

P I is normally used
at a concentration to give 0.001
molar iodide concentration. To
achieve this 0.807 kg P
I is added to each cubic
meter of drilling fluid. The
additions are best carried out via a
chemical barrel and spread over the
entire circulating system as evenly
as possible. All subsequent
dilutions must be treated with the
same concentration to maintain
active levels.
