Porqué se inyecta reductor de fricción en los pozos petroleros?
Porqué se inyecta reductor de fricción en los pozos petroleros? Los reductores de fricción (FR – Friction Reducers) se inyectan en los pozos petroleros principalmente durante operaciones de fractura hidráulica (fracking) para disminuir la resistencia al flujo del fluido dentro de las tuberías, lo que permite mejorar la eficiencia y seguridad de las operaciones. 🔍… Continue reading Porqué se inyecta reductor de fricción en los pozos petroleros?
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?
Additives and Fluids in Fracking: Traditional vs. Green Solutions
Traditional Additives and Fluids in Fracking: Contaminants and Hazards In conventional fracking operations, a variety of chemical additives and fluids are employed to enhance the extraction process. One of the primary additives used is hydrochloric acid, which serves to dissolve minerals and initiate fissures in the rock formation. This is crucial for increasing the permeability… Continue reading Additives and Fluids in Fracking: Traditional vs. Green Solutions

What is the difference between a friction reducer and a flow improver in the oil industry?
What is the difference between a friction reducer and a flow improver in the oil industry? Friction reducers and flow improvers are additives used to improve oil flow in wells and pipelines. However, there are some important differences between the two. Friction reducers work by reducing the friction between the oil and the well or pipe wall. This is done by forming a… Continue reading What is the difference between a friction reducer and a flow improver in the oil industry?
