FRICTION REDUCER MANUFACTURING

Select manufactures our own line of polymers which are available for direct-to-the field delivery: 

FRAQSLIQ PFR-308

Anionic friction reducer used in source water from fresh up to high brine; high performance at lower loadings in some applications; versatile formula can replace up to three products and reduce inventory carrying costs. 

RCKSLIQ VFR-50

Anionic viscoelastic friction reducer used in source water from fresh up to mid brine. 

RCKSLIQ VFR-52

Anionic viscoelastic friction reducer used in source water from fresh up to mid brine and particularly in water with higher sulfates in the composition.

RCKSLIQ VFR-500

Cationic viscoelastic friction reducer slurry in BTEX non-detectable carrier fluid used in source water from fresh up to high brine; designed to increase proppant transport characteristics. 

RCKSLIQ DCT-104

Anionic polyacrylamide emulsion polymer that is high brine tolerant; improved performance in divalent cation laden source water. Improved speed of hydration as well as long-term performance stability.
