High Temperature CO₂ Fracturing Fluid

Reduce Polymer-Loading Up to 50%

The ThermaFOAM CO₂ foam system for high-temperature wells is a unique chemical system specifically designed for fracture applications in wells with bottomhole static temperatures (BHSTs) between 200 and 300 degF [93 and 149 degC]. The ThermaFOAM system is a CO₂-compatible product that uses the CO₂-polymer interaction to create stable and robust foam systems that allow polymer-loading reductions of up to 50%.

The reduction in polymer loading, combined with improved well performance and the elimination of the need for a crosslinking gel, has resulted in a fluid system that maximizes cleanup of the proppant pack within the fracture.

Significant reductions in time to sales can typically be expected for wells fractured using the ThermaFOAM CO₂ foam system compared with wells stimulated using conventional fracturing technology.
