Friction Reducers

High molecular weight emulsion polymers help to bring order to inefficient turbulent flow, which reduces horsepower requirements to achieve a given pump rate, during hydraulic fracturing operations. Brine tolerance, based on total dissolved solids (TDS) of the water, is an important factor for determining which friction reducer to use.

Shrieve’s friction reducer line has products that are effective in fresh water, low, medium, high, and very high TDS brines to provide necessary friction reduction for slickwater fracturing applications.
