The authors write that polymeric additives are effective in the design of complex systems to house important chemical reagents under challenging conditions. -
Mixing dry polymer powder and water to make friction reducer as needed during fracturing can cut the cost of the additive and the testing of whether a drastically simplified recipe performs as well as more-complex mixes.

SponsoredMany oilfield applications involve use of slurries. But sedimentation of the additives that started out as powders can create problems and reduce effectiveness. A new easy to use, liquid polymer additive from BYK is the solution you need.
-
The authors examine methods of adopting an aggressive approach to optimizing stimulation design to lower the break-even level of operations and evaluate the results.
-
This paper summarizes a technology using SMP to provide downhole sand control in openhole environments.
-
Fluid Efficiency and Rhapsody Venture will partner to refine and launch a new molecular technology to improve the flow in pipelines.
-
With multistage operations becoming the industry norm, operators need easily deployable diversion technologies that will protect previously stimulated perforations and enable addition of new ones. This paper reviews several aspects of the use of in-stage diversion.
-
Development of a new polymer composite that degrades via hydrolysis in hot water or brine holds potential for use in structural applications for intervention-less downhole tools.
