Flow-Back Agent

ChemEOR Flow-Back products are field proven, high performance, nonionic surfactant formulations added in stimulation fluids to increase the drainage speed (de-watering) of the injected fluids. When applied even at very low dosages, CE-FB significantly reduces the surface tension (~ 30 dyne/cm) of the stimulation fluid and creates a near-neutral surface wetting condition. Fluid flow back can be improved to avoid potential water blockages. We have developed various products targeting both gas and oil wells.

Product Name Description
FB-8G Flowback surfactant (for gas or oil well)
FB-16G Flowback surfactant (for gas or oil well)

 

FIELD TESTED AND APPROVED
Proven product, effective in oil field operations.

HIGH EFFICIENCY
Increases hydrocarbon production by reducing water blockage effects. Reduces surface tension and interfacial tension at low concentrations. Regains reservoir permeability for post well stimulation.

BROAD APPLICATIONS
Applicable for unconventional gas/oil well fracturing treatments (shale, tight gas, and CBM).

ENVIRONMENTALLY FAVORABLE
Nonionic formulation not containing fluoro compounds, glycol ethers, or nonylphenolethoxylated surfactants. Eco-friendly replacements for other microemulsion flowback additives.

COST-EFFECTIVE
Low treatment cost – low price/gallon and used at low doses (0.5 – 2.0 gpt).
