Frac – Fluids
Frac – Fluids are designed to enlarge and to extent (micro-)fractures in rocks and rock-formations in subsurface. The fracturing process is applied in deep boreholes in oil- / gas- exploration and production and for exploitation of geothermal energy with the aim to in-crease the porosity and permeability and finally to enhance the production rate of the well.
Glycols are binary alcoholic-compounds and are used predominantly as cooling liquid and anti-freezing fluid.
Mixed with water, glycols operate as energy transfer medium (heat carrier) in geothermal-energy-generation-circulation-systems. In deep boreholes, for example Triglycol is inserted for dehumidification and drying natural gas.
The parameter range for technical fluids, such as for example Frac-Fluids und Glycols:
- Alkali determination
- Hydrocarbon distributions
- Glycol content
- Water content in organic liquids
- Organic sum parameters
- Various physical parameters
