“Brine” is a general term that refers to various salts and salt mixtures dissolved in an aqueous solution. Brine water-based drilling fluids refer to a type of water-based drilling fluid that contains more dissolved inorganic salt than typical seawater. Brine water-based drilling fluids are usually used in oil and gas well completion operations. Brines are preferred because they have higher densities than fresh water but lack solid particles that might damage producible formations. Various types of brine are commercially available and used in completion projects, such as chloride-based brines (e.g., chlorides of calcium, sodium, and potassium), bromides (e.g., bromides of calcium, sodium, and potassium), formats (e.g., chlorides of calcium, sodium, and potassium), and others.

Brine waters are mainly used as oil-well control fluids during oil-well completion and workover phases. Brines are usually solids-free, containing no particles that might plug or damage a producing formation.In addition, the salts in brine can inhibit undesirable formation reactions such as clay swelling, bacterial growth, etc. Brines are typically formulated and prepared for specific conditions, with salts available to achieve densities ranging from 8.4 to over 20 lb/gal (ppg) [1.0 to 2.4 g/cm3]. Common salts used to prepare simple brine systems include sodium chloride, calcium chloride, and potassium chloride. More complex brine systems may contain zinc, bromide, or iodine salts. Brines are usually formulated using different salts, depending on the properties required for a completion project.

Brines are used in high concentrations in drilling operations to help control the wellbore's pressure and prevent the collapse of the borehole walls, help cool the drill bit, and remove cuttings from the wellbore.

Various water-based brines are also known as completion fluids or workover fluids, depending on the stage of the drilling process in which they are used. In addition to salt, other additives are added to the drilling fluid brines, such as weighting agents, viscosity modifiers, and emulsifiers, depending on the specific requirements of the drilling operation. The composition of the brine can be adjusted to provide specific drilling properties, such as viscosity, density, and pH, and to address any specific challenges or issues that may arise during the drilling process.
