Global demand for potassium formate has seen a notable uptick recently, driven by the accelerated progress of oilfield exploration and drilling projects across the Middle East and North America. As a key additive for high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) drilling and completion fluids, potassium formate delivers excellent thermal stability, low corrosion and strong shale inhibition performance, effectively protecting wellbore integrity and avoiding reservoir damage. This advantage makes it a preferred solids-free clear brine solution for many oil operators.
In the current market landscape, overseas local chemical plants face limited operating capacity, and raw material costs stay high. Many oilfield procurement teams are actively searching for reliable Asian suppliers to lock in long-term bulk supply contracts. More inquiries for potassium formate have landed with Chinese manufacturers in October, with buyers focusing on product purity, batch consistency and export delivery schedule.
Shandong Pulisi Chemical Co., Ltd., established in 2006, is a trusted supplier of premium potassium formate for global oilfield clients. Our potassium formate works perfectly as oilfield drilling fluid additive, available in both solid crystalline and liquid forms to satisfy different field requirements. Our products have passed SGS, BV and FAMI-QS certifications, fully meeting international quality and safety standards.

Market analysts expect the strong demand for oil-grade potassium formate to continue in the coming months. With more offshore and onshore drilling projects scheduled to kick off, long-term order negotiations will remain active. For oilfield operators, securing a stable, certified potassium formate source ahead of schedule will help avoid supply disruptions and control operating costs.
