Hydraulic fracturing has enabled the oil and gas industry to tap into vast oil and natural gas deposits from previously uneconomical underground shale formations. This is achievable thanks to advanced friction reducers.

Friction reducers are additives used in hydraulic fracturing to minimize the friction between the fluid and piping. This reduction in friction allows the fracturing fluid to be pumped at higher rates and pressures, while improving the proppant carrying capacity of the fluid, which improves the efficiency of the fracturing process. By lowering the friction, these reducers help in achieving better penetration of the fluid into the rock formations, enabling more effective extraction of oil and natural gas while also reducing the energy required for pumping and overall operational costs.
