Proppant Enhancement Technologies

Sentinel™ dust suppressant mitigates the respirable silica dust generated by uncoated frac sand.

PropShield™ additive is designed specifically for uncoated frac sand completions to significantly reduce proppant flowback.

Consolidation Aids

AcTivator™ consolidation aids allow for proppant pack consolidation at low temperatures.

Formation Fines Control

Fines-Sta™ fines control agent provides enhanced well stimulation during hydraulic fracturing treatments and acidizing procedures.

Water Management

AquaBond™ formation water reduction technology reduces the production of formation water while improving oil and gas production.
