OPTiFrac® - Low Guar Borate Crosslinked Fracturing Fluids

Typical Properties and Field Applications

OPTiFrac technology was commercialized in 2011 successfully and has been applied in various oil and gas fields in the world. It has been proved to be effective in treatment of tight sandstone and carbonate reservoirs with the following conditions:

Temperature:
BHST 70‑325°F (21‑163°C)
Formation:
Various sandstone and carbonate formations
Mix‑water:
Fresh water, brines or seawater
Further information about field applications is described in documented “Case History of OPTiFrac Technology”.

Precautions and HSE Considerations

Guar (KHF021 and KHF021L), delayed crosslinker (KHF008, KHF009, KHF009L and KHF010) and breaker (KHF011, KHF012, KHF013 and KHF014) in OPTiFrac systems play the most important role in fracturing fluid and treatment design. In addition, clay stabilizer (KHF002, KHF002L and KHF002D), biocide (KHF003 and KHF003G), stabilizer aid (KHF004), stabilizer (KHF005), antifoaming agent (KHF006) and flowback additive (KHF007 and KHF007S) are often used in OPTiFrac systems.

The laboratory procedures, quality assurance program and guidelines for field mixing and handling of OPTiFrac systems are described in OPTiFrac fluid manual.
