Case History CHALLENGE •As pump rate increases and laterals get longer, operators increasingly fight friction reducer degradation by increasing loadings of less efficient FRs; This is needed because necessary FR polymers are being sheared apart. SOLUTIONS •Highly-specialized engineered Friction Reducer (FR) that is not sensitive to shear, even with long residence time. In this instance, NewStim FR 715. RESULT •The specialzed FR was able to maintain shear stablity and provide optimal friction reduction at lower loading rates than the incumbent. Newpark Fluids Systems Achieves Frictional Pressures Maintenance At 120+ bbl/min High Pumping Rates Required for Efficient Placement of Proppant into Longer Laterals Require Engineered High-Shear Resistant Friction Reducers
