Friction reducers play a critical role in fracturing applications by reducing the hydraulic horsepower required for fluid injection. At Sunita Hydrocolloids Inc. (SHI), we specialize in providing friction reducers tailored specifically for hydraulic fracturing (fracking) operations. Our fraction reducers are engineered to lower pump pressure, improve flow efficiency and reduce operational costs in oil & gas stimulation.

We offer a comprehensive range of products tailored for treating fluids, accommodating everything from fresh water to high-density brines and produced waters. Our friction reducer products are available in various forms, including emulsions, slurries or dry products, ensuring versatility and effectiveness across diverse operational requirements.

The Challenges of Friction in Hydraulic Fracturing

Excessive friction during hydraulic fracturing poses numerous challenges associated with fracturing construction, such as: 

1) High pump pressure increases energy costs

Hydraulic fracturing involves injecting high pressure fluids into the ground to create fractures in rock formations. Minimizing friction (resistance to fluid flow) translates to cost savings and operational efficiency due to less energy consumption in the pumping process. 

2) Inefficient fluid flow delays operations 

A successful fracturing operation requires controlled and efficient fluid flow. Friction can inhibit fluid flow, resulting in delays and operational inefficacy. Friction reducers modify the rheological properties of the fracturing fluid for better flow, leading to effective fracturing well stimulation. 

3) Premature equipment wear due to friction  

High friction forces can increase the wear and tear on pumps, tubing and other equipment used in the fracturing process, leading to increased maintenance costs and reducing the lifespan of equipment.
