Diamond FRAQ™ Polymer-Free Fluid Enables High Quality Fracturing

Diamond FRAQ™, developed by Baker Oil Tools, is the first VES fluid with polymeric fracturing fluid performance properties and superior formation and proppant pack cleanup capability. Its micelle stabilizers extend VES fluid use to 300 F. Viscosity enhancers reduce VES loading and total system cost.

Fluid loss control agents significantly reduce fluid leak-off to about 2,000 md, to reduce treatment fluid volume and improve fracture geometry. Diamond FRAQ™ uses nano-particle technology to:
associate (pseudo-crosslink) VES micelles together;
stabilize VES micelle structures to 300 F;
form a pseudo-filtercake composed of highly viscous VES fluid (micelles) and nano-particles.

Internal breakers work over a wide mixwater salinity and temperature range to:
go wherever the VES fluid goes to assure viscosity reductions;
eliminate reliance on reservoir hydrocarbons to clean up VES fluid;
work synergistically with high-temperature stabilizers, viscosity enhancers, and fluid loss control agents.
