SlickFix is an innovative solution designed to enhance oil and gas production, allowing wells to achieve peak production throughout their entire asset life cycle. SlickFix does this by solving a problem that has plagued slick water fracturing operations for years – gummy bears.
Normally during fracking, a sand and water mixture is pumped down a well to create and propagate fractures. In slick water fracs, chemicals – such as long string polymers – are added to the water to place the job. These polymers combine with particulates and divalent leechates to form polymer scale. Polymer scale manifests as emulsions, gummy bears and restricted downhole flow.
Watch this video to see how SlickFix increases production.
Adding SlickFix prevents polymer scale from forming in two ways:
- First, SlickFix combines with divalent ions before polymers preventing formation of solids.
- Second, SlickFix cuts up the polymers into smaller fragments which can be more easily produced and do not clog or restrict flow.
Since 2021, SlickFix has boosted more than 70 wells and experienced impressive results. In a recent case study, SlickFix was used to treat two Turner wells in Powder River. One well was treated with SlickFix and the other was untreated. The well schematics, geology, drilling and completions design of both wells were otherwise identical. The result? SlickFix dramatically increased the production.
The SlickFix difference is:
- Reduced BS&W, allowing less production chemical required to achieve sales quality oil.
- Eliminated damage left behind by friction reducers, improving downhole permeability.
- Maximized oil and gas production.
- Increased water reusability while reducing disposal costs and facility maintenance downtime improves water quality.
- Wells achieving peak production throughout the entire asset life cycle.
- Reduced emulsion tendencies.
