Tuned FR

TUNED to your operational needs

What differentiates an Alpha? Every FR is custom-designed to match the exact water chemistry, brine level, and operational variables of the jobsite.

  • Reduce pump strain, chemical volume, and non-productive time (NPT).
  • Faster stage completion and better overall asset efficiency.
  • TUNED™ design model ensures optimal compatibility and performance.

Sub-Product Breakdown

Product type water compatibility key benefits
Alpha FR 1 High-concentrate Anionic HVFR Slurry Fresh to mildly briny Faster stage completion, suitable for challenging wells, reduces total well cost (TCO)
Alpha FR 2 Anionic HVFR Slurry Fresh to moderately brine Faster stage completion, optimized for cost-sensitive operations
Alpha FR 3T High-concentrate Anionic HVFR Slurry Fresh to high brine Faster stage completion, reliable in high-salinity, reduces TCO
Alpha FR 4 Anionic HVFR Slurry Fresh to high brine Faster stage completion, targeted for line-item cost savings
Alpha FR 6T Ultra-concentrate HVFR Slurry Fresh to high brine Dry FR applications, high reliability, reduces NPT and stage TCO
Alpha FR 7A Ultra-concentrate Anionic Slurry Fresh to high brine Dry FR applications, high reliability, optimized for complex well designs
Alpha FR 809C High-concentrate Cationic Slurry Mild to heavy briny Performs under fluctuating oxidizer loads, ideal for advanced completion designs

Experimental Conditions

Viscosity measurements measured at 2 gpt in municipal tap water using a Fann-35 style viscometer with an R1B1 bob at 300 sec⁻¹.

Determined through degradative shear sweep analysis on a 40’ flow loop with a 5 gallon reservoir using water containing 5% CaCl₂ to represent general hardness and 95% NaCl to represent electrostatic contributions dissolved to the total ppm range at either 0.5 or 0.75 gpt, as appropriate for the product and water.

*Experimental Products: tested >250k ppm
Results may vary with complex produced waters

Surfactants

Tension, reduced

For flowback enhancement, wettability alteration, and emulsion breaking.
