Increase Flowback from Hydraulic Fractures

Our PETROSTEP ME-2 flowback aid is an exciting new technology developed to increase flowback from hydraulic fractures and enhance the well's oil productivity. These were designed to remediate as many of the ways fracturing fluid can damage the formation.

 

Improve Gas Well Hydrocarbon Production

PETROSTEP ME-2 flowback aid can also be used for gas well condensates to help operators improve hydrocarbon production by enhancing the clean-up of fluids after stimulation.

Our PETROSTEP FRB-5 has been shown to improve friction reduction performance with anionic and cationic emulsion friction reducers (FRs) in harsh water conditions. It has also been shown to boost FRs in water containing up to 265,000 mg/L total dissolved solids (TDS).

Analyzing the Benefits of Designing a Multifunctional Surfactant Blend from Lab-Scale to Field-Scale in Hydraulic Fracturing Under High Salinity Conditions: A Case Study of the Mississippian Limestone Play
Presented by: Alhad Phatak, Ph.D., Product Development Manager

Dr. Phatak delves into a comprehensive evaluation of multiple surfactants and how they can be applied in hydraulic fracturing. His study specifically looks at their ability to perform twin functions: enhance friction reducer performance and improve regained permeability.
