... Additionally, it was recognized that this fluid should be non-damaging and have friction reduction characteristics equal to or better than existing friction reducers currently being used in the industry. Moreover, it should be possible to reduce the density of the fluid using nitrogen thereby...

... is put on production, a reduction of CFIP for the parent well occurs (rapidly decreasing at first, then stabilizing after a transition period) proportional to productivity index reduction. The loss in CFIP for the parent well can be determined simply by estimating the parent well CFIP immediately before...

... from this testing can be summarized as friction reduction percentages from a sample with no friction reducer for all the different setpoints. where FR% represents the percentage of friction (Drag Reduction). Similar approach can be taken for non-Newtonian fluids using the following equations...

...). Likewise, the HVFRs are comprised of distinct polymer backbones, and thus we anticipate will behave differently when exposed to the breakers. Indeed, significant differences in viscosity reduction behavior are observed depending on the HVFR-breaker pairing, concentrations of the two components, and test...

According to this study, Stop/Start systems performed more favorably for use in diesel-powered trucks when...

... decreased by 12.5%. These products did not self-heal like their water-based counterpart. At the 300 RPM reading 3.0 gpt HVFR still showed a reduction of 14.7% from pre-shear to post shear viscosity. 5.0 gpt HVFR was 19.5% reduction and 5.0 gpt Guar 4.6% reduction. A direct comparison cannot be made...
