I’ve been analyzing the latest trends in proppant selection, especially regarding how different friction reducers affect fluid dynamics during the fracking process. Recently, I noticed a significant improvement in flow rates when using a new synthetic friction reducer we tested in the Permian Basin. Has anyone else experienced drastic differences in operational efficiency based on the proppant or additives used?
I’ve seen similar results with a synthetic friction reducer in the Bakken. It really did improve our flow rates, especially during peak times when efficiency is crucial. Just keep an eye on how it interacts with the proppant you choose; not all combinations yield the same benefits.
I’ve definitely seen that improvement in flow rates with synthetic friction reducers too. When we used one during a late summer job in the Permian, it really made a difference in keeping our operations smooth, especially when we were under time constraints. Just a heads up, though, make sure to monitor the viscosity since some can be finicky under high temperatures. Have you considered any other additives alongside it?
