Oil field – Oxidizing Gel Breaker for Guar slurries used in fracturing. In fracking or frac jobs, after proppant is placed, fluid viscosity needs to be reduced. All Guar based systems can be broken using oxidizing breakers. GB-2 generates free radicals of oxygen to efficiently oxidize and break all types of guar gels.
Coated or Encapsulate Ammonium Persulfate, based coated chemical to be active at 140F or 60C called low temperature delayed release gel breaker is used for breaking gel up to temperatures of 200F or a little more.
Coated or Encapsulate Potassium Persulfate based coated chemical to be active at 195F or 90C called high temperature delayed release gel breaker is used when significantly higher down-hole temperatures up to 300F or 150C are expected. A little more temperature is OK.
Coated or Encapsulated Sodium Bromate based gel breaker for very high temperatures. It will not be active up to 240F or 115C and is suggested for use at 280F to 330F or 138C to 165C.
GB-2 is a Persulfate salt manufactured by electrolyzing Ammonia and Sulfuric Acid in a palladium cell. We offer both immediate release and encapsulated delayed release version.
Route of Action: Free radical generation starts upon dissolution is water and is accelerated at fluid temperatures of 120 F and above. GB-2 can be used up to fluid temperatures of 200 F.
An independent chemist of a user has reported the following comparison of our product. This is tested in a different way.
The above data is for a material with 20-25% coating and 75 to 80% active. We offer various coating percentage. Generally coating up to 37% is used depending on the temperature of usage.
Compatibility: Compatibility with brine, calcium chloride, KCl solutions as well as all known fracturing fluids, gels, cross-linkers and additives. It is extensively used in oil well drilling, fracturing or fracking.
Environment: GB-2 is not hazardous to the environment.
