HEG-FL15
Our next-generation friction reducer (FR) is a groundbreaking advancement in oil and gas friction reduction technology. This patented FR is produced through a unique gel polymerization process, resulting in a significantly higher molecular weight than current market alternatives. This increased molecular weight greatly enhances the molecule’s performance, allowing for a reduction in the overall polymer used. Additionally, our innovative manufacturing process enables the integration of other chemistries, further boosting versatility and effectiveness. This breakthrough not only optimizes performance but also provides cost efficiencies and environmental benefits by reducing polymer usage. Our next-generation FR sets a new standard in friction reduction, offering exceptional performance and versatility for the oil and gas industry.

Background: At a frac site in Southeast New Mexico, the primary friction reducer (FR) used was a high-viscosity HVFR inverse emulsion.
Solution: HEG-FL15, formulated with a preferred scale inhibitor and surfactant, was introduced to enhance performance and reduce costs.
Results: Using HEG-FL15 reduced the HVFR loading by 50%, while maintaining effective scale inhibition and surfactant performance. This led to a cost savings of over 35% without sacrificing performance.
Conclusion: HEG-FL15 significantly improved operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness, demonstrating its superior capabilities in friction reduction for the oil and gas industry.
