Universal Pressure Pumping says it is deploying automation and novel chemistries to
boost its hydraulic fracturing fleets' efficiency and protect the environment.
ration, Ezell stresses. " When people have
spent the past decade applying friction reducer
at concentrations around a gallon
per thousand, they will be skeptical if you
tell them a more effective polymer will
work with a concentration of only a quarter
gallon per thousand. As a result, the
well may be overtreated, " he says. " What
often happens is that we send the polymer
into the field only to see costs go up because
too much was applied. "
In other situations, a supply chain specialist
who is unfamiliar with the labtested
superiority of a polymer may look
askance at its higher unit cost, Ezell continues.
" We have a much better shot at
improving completion fluids' performance
when operators, pressure pumpers
and chemistry providers involve the right
people in the evaluation process, " he
says. " Ideally, chemical selection should
be guided by testing and long-term research
and development. Producers that
invest in research and approach the
process collaboratively with an expert in
chemistry such as Flotek end up with fantastic
wells. "
Ezell acknowledges that many companies
lack internal testing resources. " We
have had companies come to us requesting
friction reducers, biocides, clay control additives,
corrosion inhibitors and surfactants, "
he says. " When we ask whether
they have tested those components together,
we sometimes get 'What do you
mean?' At that point, we ask for cuttings,
core samples and produced water, bring
those into our lab and run tests so we can
prescribe the right mix of chemistries. "
To demonstrate the benefits of that
testing, Ezell points to surfactants. " We
have data from more than 14,000 wells
worldwide showing that our flagship
surfactants can make a marked improvement
in production, but we also have
seen wells for which they would be a
poor fit, " he says. " When we tell customers
our technology is not right for
their well, we may lose some revenue on
