Chemical Formula CaBr₂•xH₂O

Molecular Weight 271.95 g/mol

Calcium bromide hydrate is a chemical compound (CaBr2•xH2O) commonly used in drilling fluids, particularly in the oil and gas industry, due to its ability to create high-density solutions. It also finds applications in food preservation, as a component of freezing mixtures, and in photography. Beyond these, it can act as a fire retardant, wood preservative, and dehydrating agent. In upstream oil and gas, it helps manage wellbore pressures during completion and workover operations.

Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

  • Source of Bromide Ions: Calcium bromide provides a soluble source of bromide ions, which are useful in reactions where a bromide nucleophile or electrophile is needed.
  • Catalysis: It can catalyze reactions such as the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones under microwave conditions, offering a green and efficient method.
  • Hydrolysis and Epoxide Transformations: It facilitates the hydrolysis of ethers and the transformation of epoxides.
  • Precursor: It serves as a precursor in the synthesis of other calcium bromides, such as calcium hydroxybromide and calcium dibromide.

2. Energy

  • High Density brine fluids: Calcium bromide is used to create high-density brine solutions for drilling fluids. These fluids help maintain wellbore stability and control formation pressures during drilling operations, preventing issues like blowouts.
