Friction Reducers
Frac chemistry is entirely dependent on the water used. As the industry moves to a more environmentally friendly and sustainable practice of recycling its produced water, the need for more robust friction reducers (FRs) comes into play. AFS is proud to offer some of the leading FR’s in the industry to meet this need. Our products provide exceptional friction reduction even in high brine settings, which allows our customers to run 100% produced water with lower-than-normal chemical loadings and better economics.
Viscosity helps carry sand… AFS’s line of FR products have high molecular weight profiles and help generate viscosity with proper loadings, eliminating the need for linear systems and other costly additives such as guar gel.
AFS’s line of FR products are blended in basin, providing our customers access to a robust inventory and a security of supply chain unmatched in the industry.
