Con-Surf EF
Surfactant / Flow-Back Aid
Product Overview
Con-Surf EF is an environmentally responsible, waterbased proprietary surfactant blend that is used as a flowback aid in stimulation treatments. Flowback aids are usually surfactants or co-solvents added to stimulation treatments to reduce capillary pressure and water blocks. Flowback aids are critical in both moderate permeability reservoirs (oil) and low permeability reservoirs (gas). Flowback of the fracturing fluid is improved by reducing the capillary pressure of the fluid in the fracture region, thus reducing the drawdown to produce hydrocarbon.
Recommended Application
- Con-Surf EF is generally added to stimulation fluids at concentrations of 2 gpt (gallons per thousand).
- Compatibility testing is strongly recommended.
