Fluid Technology

At FTS International, we are committed to innovative product creation that builds value by servicing our clients’ individual well stimulation demands. With labs in every district, FTS International designs innovative, specialized completion solutions that suit each well’s unique qualities. Everyday, our scientists develop new ways to refine and revolutionize the completions process to better enhance our clients' recovery.

The Power of Green

FTSI combines the most recent advances in unconventional stimulation technologies to ensure its customers environmentally friendly solutions.

Green Stimulation Solutions

Fluid_02.jpgSlickwater Green is one of the most environmentally friendly solutions ever created. It is engineered according to the principals of Green Chemistry and contains no harmful byproducts. This revolutionary powdered blend is premixed based on jobsite specifications and delivered in dry form – simplifying logistics and eliminating the risk of freezing. Slickwater Green’s powdered form also may eliminate the need for chemical totes and help reduce operational footprints. Best of all, application of Slickwater Green produces environmentally friendly results that simplify slickwater stimulation treatments.

Slickwater Green Blend Includes: Friction Reducer, Biocide, Oxygen Scavenger, Clay Control and Scale Inhibitor. It can be premixed to client or location specifications.

Biocides for Bacteria Control: Dazomet-based, synergy with Friction Reducers; Glutaraldehyde based; THPS-based, unique formulation to destroy biofilms; Quat-based; Combo-cide

Nanotechnology for Enhanced Oil Recovery

NPD Solutions is a stable nanoparticles-dispersion that accelerates recovery of hydrocarbon and stimulation fluids from oil and gas reservoirs. The “smart” nanoparticles in NPD Solutions self-assemble into a wedge film when they encounter a discontinuous phase. This wedge film acts to separate formation fluids (oil, water and gas) from the formation’s surface, thereby recovering more fluids more rapidly. The latest in “green” technologies, NPD Solutions is available exclusively through the FTSI sales team.

Applications

  • Stimulation Treatments: Slickwater, Cross-Linked Fluids, Energized Fluids and Acid Treatments
  • Waterflood Applications
  • Paraffin, Asphaltene and Sludge Removal
  • Formation Damage Removal
  • EOR and Salt Water Disposal

NPD 2000 is a low pH additive with more than 50 successful field trial applications in remediation of older producing wells with paraffin, asphaltene and formation damage issues. NPD 2000 has also been used to improve the performance of treatments in saltwater disposal wells with respect to improved injectivity and pressure maintenance or reduction. NPD 2000 may be used in treatments involving fresh water, 1-7 percent potassium chloride (KCl) brine, and in low to moderate hardness and sodium chloride salinity scenarios. If run with hydrochloric acid or other additives, it must be separated by a KCl or freshwater spacer, and compatible with reservoir fluids and conditions verified prior to pumping.

Acid Stimulation for High Permeability Carbonate Reservoirs

Venus Green Acid System is an eco-friendly emulsified acid system which retards the acid reaction rate, allowing deeper live acid penetration into the formation, improving well productivity and flowback performance.

Benefits

  • Environmentally responsible and operationally efficient
  • Biodegradable external phase
  • Enhanced productivity with deeper live acid penetration and surface tension reduction
  • Flexible treatment designs with a range of acid concentrations and remediation
