Friction Reducers

By: admin | April 14, 2020

As a key component in slickwater applications, traditional emulsion-based friction reducers have long been a mainstay of the North American completions market. Friction reducers are intended to reduce the friction in the wellbore during the drilling and stimulation processes in unconventional reservoirs such as coal beds and shales. The large volumes of water pumped, and […]

Fresh Water and Brine Tolerant Friction Reducers Horizontal drilling and multiple-fracturing completion processes have allowed economical production from unconventional reservoirs such as coal beds and shales. The large volumes of water pumped and high rates required result in high friction pressures by turbulent fluid flow. Cationic or anionic friction reducers reduce turbulence and minimize friction […]
