Natural additives for drilling muds: benefits of aloe solutions in unconventional wells. Introduction In the oil and gas industry, drilling mud plays a fundamental role: it stabilizes the wellbore walls, cools the drill bit, and transports cuttings. However, conventional additives are often composed of synthetic chemicals such as lignosulfonates, aggressive biocides, and surfactants that are… Continue reading Natural additives for drilling muds: benefits of aloe solutions in unconventional wells

Additives for Fracking in the Pad and Proppant Stage
Which are the typical additives for Fracking in the pad and proppant stage? Additives in the Pad Stage of Hydraulic Fracturing The pad stage is the initial phase of the hydraulic fracturing process, where a proppant-free fluid (usually slickwater or gel fluid) is injected to break the rock formation and create the main fractures. This… Continue reading Additives for Fracking in the Pad and Proppant Stage
Which are the main green additives in a fracking fluid?
Introduction to Green Additives in Fracking Fluids Hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as fracking, has revolutionized the energy sector by enabling the extraction of oil and natural gas from previously inaccessible underground formations. However, traditional fracking fluids, which are essential to the process, often contain a cocktail of toxic chemicals that pose significant environmental and health… Continue reading Which are the main green additives in a fracking fluid?
Revolutionizing Fracking: Exploring the Potential of Green Additives
In recent years, the oil and gas industry has been undergoing a transformation, seeking sustainable solutions to mitigate the environmental impact of fracking operations. One promising avenue of innovation lies in the development of green fracking additives. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has revolutionized the energy industry by unlocking vast reservoirs of natural gas and oil… Continue reading Revolutionizing Fracking: Exploring the Potential of Green Additives
Green Additives are the Best Option for Fracturing Fluids
Green Additives are the Best Option for Fracturing Fluids It is well known that most of the additives used in fracturing fluids are very harmful and pollutant, with adverse consequences on the environment. Chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing fluids are intended to treat adequately the producing formation. But as you know, most of those chemicals and compounds are… Continue reading Green Additives are the Best Option for Fracturing Fluids
