Shale Play Water Management’s July/August publication featured case study “Friction Reducers in Variable Dissolved Solids” discusses one of GeoKimika’s success stories. On-site monitoring and real-time analysis of frac water composition, resulted in an optimize fluid design that reduced chemical expenses and improved bacteria control.
This article presents a case study exploring implementation of on-site field testing, on-the-fly treatment changes, and the impact to operational efficiency. Real time data were used to make changes during the fracturing
process to optimize chemical treatment
programs and water ratios.”
