EFC CRYSTAL Formulating environmentallyfriendly fracturing fluids

EFC Crystal technical specifications give formulators a wide range of grades to fine-tune the composition of fracturing fluids; low pour point ensures product performance in even the most extreme temperature (eg. exploration in Canada), high flashpoint facilitates safety in material handling and transport, whilst a variety of viscosity options enables control of fluid rheology.

With the growing need for alternative sources of energy, Shale gas has gained significant importance over the last few years. The use of million of gallons of fluids in hydraulic fracturing have increasingly raised concerns with regard to waste water management as well as ground water pollution. Specialist in the development of ultra pure hydrocarbons, Total has developed a comprehensive range of eco-grade materials dedicated to the formulation of fracturing fluids additives, such as viscosifiers, friction reducers and fluid loss control technologies.
