FiberFRAC

Address proppant settling without increasing fluid viscosity

In low-viscosity fracturing treatments, proppant settling and uneven placement can limit fracture effectiveness and increase fracture height growth. FiberFRAC™ fiber-based fracturing fluid technology uses a degradable fiber network to mechanically support proppant transport, reducing reliance on fluid viscosity and polymer concentration.

This approach enables more predictable fracture geometry, improved stimulation containment, and stronger production outcomes across a wide temperature range.

Explore fracturing technologies

• FiberFRAC technology is applied in hydraulic fracturing operations where reliable proppant placement is critical:
  • tight and unconventional reservoirs with high settling risk
  • slickwater treatments requiring low polymer exposure
  • crosslinked gel designs targeting improved placement efficiency
  • wells with extended fracture closure times
  • treatments with fracture height containment concerns
  • reservoir temperatures from approximately 140 to 345 degF (grade dependent).

Reliable proppant placement for improved fracture performance

FiberFRAC technology improves fracture effectiveness by enabling more uniform proppant placement, which supports longer effective fracture half-lengths. By reducing fracture height growth, it helps maintain stimulation containment while preserving proppant-pack conductivity through lower polymer loading. This approach also provides greater operational flexibility, allowing low-viscosity treatment designs without compromising proppant transport reliability.

Reliable production performance

FiberFRAC technology is defined by a small number of core capabilities that directly impact proppant placement, fracture geometry, and operational execution. These differentiators focus on how proppant is transported, how the system integrates with existing fluid designs, and how it is deployed at the wellsite.
