Calfrac’s laboratory services continuously evaluates friction reducers to provide customers with quality products for pumping operations. CalVisc CS-2™ has been developed to work in a wide range of friction reduction applications and can be used in both slickwater and high viscosity friction reducer (HVFR) applications.
The CalVisc™ frac fluid system was introduced in the Williston Basin in 2014 as an alternative to traditional crosslinked fluid systems. CalVisc provides many completion advantages including fracture complexity, minimal to no loss in fracture conductivity, improved clean-up and fewer chemicals pumped.
The CalVisc™ fluid system was introduced to the Montney in late 2015 as an alternative to the traditional slickwater/hybrid fluid systems. Being a high concentration friction reduced system, CalVisc provides many advantages over a dual fracturing system design including the elimination of the hybrid portion of a conventional Montney fracturing treatment.
