Surfactants are an important group of chemicals that are used to enhance fluid recovery after fracturing. Selecting the right surfactant combination is key to optimizing fluid recovery, particularly when the product is designed to be multifunctional. Innospec Oilfield Services (IOS) offers a wide-range of flowback surfactant systems specifically designed to enhance treatment fluid recovery, prevent […]
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 […]
Friction reducers help to achieve the pump rates necessary for proppant transport and to obtain suitable fracture geometries in stimulation applications. Recently, dry friction reducers have also increased performance and operational efficiencies at a lowercost. Innospec Oilfield Services has formulated a cost-effective, dry FR and coupled with its’ dry blend field unit, it also simplifies […]
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 […]
HiRate Plus™ Series Slickwater fracturing systems depend largely on high performance friction reducers (FR) to achieve the pump rates required for proppant transport and suitable fracture geometry. While simple to use onsite, traditional emulsion-based friction reducers have reached their limits in efficiency and affordability. To overcome these existing FR limits to provide a solution for […]
High Efficiency Friction Reducers Today’s high viscosity friction reducers (HEFRs) are intended to reduce friction in the wellbore during the drilling and stimulation processes in unconventional reservoirs such as shales and coal beds. But the large volumes of water pumped, and high pump rates required, often result in damaging high friction pressures caused by turbulent […]
Gelling agents are the starting foundation for most traditional crosslinker fluid systems. Mixed with other components, these gelling agents provide fluid loss control, viscosity control, and proppant carrying capacity. Innospec Oilfield Services (IOS) has worked with guar vendors to select native and derivatized guar polymers. LFC The LFC suite of guar gum slurries consist of […]
In guar-based fluid systems, gel stabilizers are needed to set and protect the viscosity, especially in high temperature reservoirs. Innospec Oilfield Services (IOS) provides several gel stabilizing additives for use in crosslinked fluid systems. GelStay The GelStay suite of gel stabilizers is designed to aid in the stabilization of crosslinked fluid systems and other polymers […]
Diesel-based solvents are commonly used for cleaning pumps and flushing hoses in-between frac stages, but a recent a shift towards improving the environmental footprint has led to finding alternatives for mitigating the risks of spills and the handling of these harsh solvents. Innospec Oilfield Services offers a diesel-free hydrocarbon solvent used to flush and rinse […]
Scale is formed by the deposit of sparingly soluble inorganic salts from aqueous solutions. It is one of the single most critical problems encountered in well completion and production since it can form on almost any surface. Once scale has formed, it will continue to get thicker unless treated. ScaleCease Innospec Oilfield Services (IOS) offers […]
