Achieving the correct placement of proppants in hydraulic fracturing relies heavily upon the gelling agents which largely contribute to fracturing fluid viscosity for precise proppant transport. This creates good rheology for matrix stimulation treatments with efficient plugging of the surface and flow strings to eliminate lost circulation in the thief zones.

Sunita USA provides tailored high performance gelling solutions for your well stimulation needs and successful fracturing operations.

The Problem: Poor Fracture Efficiency Without Proper Gel Support

Unstable or lower viscosity fracturing fluids tend to create more complex fractures in hydraulic fracturing, which leads to inefficient proppant placement, fluid loss and poor fracture propagation. Employing standard gelling agents does not always deliver the desired viscosity and stability under specific temperature, pressure or chemical conditions, leading to suboptimal proppant placement and fracture conductivity.

Tailored hydraulic fracturing gelling agents are needed to optimize the operations for better proppant transport and fracture performance in diverse geological formations and reservoir conditions. At Sunita USA, we recognize that diffusion, dispersion and viscous fingering during the gel placement can modify the injection profiles and manufacture fracturing gelling agents customised to your specific well conditions.

Why Choose Sunita’s Gelling Agents for Fracturing Jobs?

1. Consistent hydration performance across fluid systems 

Sunita’s gelling agents offer predictable gel strength, stability and overall functionality in a variety of applications. This allows for reliable gel formation and prevents inconsistencies in texture, viscosity or other desired properties across different formulations.

2. High thermal stability and controlled gel breaking

This ensures that Sunita’s gelling agents remain effective at the high downhole temperatures while controlled gel breaking allows for the efficient release of proppants and the flow of hydrocarbons after the fracturing treatment.

3. Custom formulations for specific basin and well conditions

At Sunita USA, we recognize that different well formations have varying permeability, temperature and specific minerals or fluids. Thus, we provide hydraulic gelling agents with tailored properties for effective proppant transport and fracture conductivity in those conditions.

4. Local supply and tech support through Sunita USA

Sunita USA has an extensive network of suppliers in the northern and southern American markets. Our technical support ensures proper handling, storage and application of the gelling agent.

Ideal Applications for Fracturing Gelling Agents

1. Slickwater and crosslinked gel fracturing

Slickwater gel fracturing needs low viscosity fluid to create fractures in shale formations, while crosslinked gel fracturing utilizes a viscous fluid to carry proppant (sand or ceramic particles) and maintain fracture width. Sunita customizes its gelling agents for both applications.

1. Unconventional reservoirs (tight gas, shale)

Sunita USA delivers tailored gelling agents for fracturing unconventional reservoirs like tight gas and shale formations to enable the fracturing fluid to create and maintain more effective fractures.

1. High-temperature and high-pressure wells

Our fracturing gelling agents are particularly designed for high-temperature and high-pressure (HPHT) conditions for enabling them to maintain their viscosity and gel strength under extreme well conditions.
