Changes in ion concentration in the fluid follow the dissolution/precipitation trend of the minerals. This research provides detailed...

... In addition, HVFRs and linear guar have been investigated to transport proppant inside the dynamic model at different proppant concentrations. Biheri and Imqam (2020 ); 2022 a performed dynamic proppant transport experiments on HVFRs and linear guar to assess the impact of increasing proppant...

... that has been employed recently during hydraulic fracturing treatments to help transport proppant and to reduce friction. However, the use of HVFRs at high concentrations, especially in regions with high concentration levels of total dissolved solids (TDS), has raised concerns over the possibility...

While slick water fracturing fluids contain low concentrations of friction reducers, the concentration of FR used in shale gas...

... Figure 5 shows the measurement of friction reduction using different HVFR concentrations (i.e., 0.5, 1, and 2 gpt). The investigation was conducted using DI water at room temperature of 21°C and ¾ inch pipe size. The results exhibited that friction reduction increased as the HVFR concentration...

With the use of this mobile unit for dry FR, data monitoring can be used to indicate when FR loadings should be altered. Concentrations of dry FR can be adjusted while the mobile unit reduces on-site footprint. Study...
