As the fracking fluid passes through the well during hydraulic fracturing operations, it may bring along with it an unwanted accompaniment: microbial contamination.

ScaleGone and ScaleGone CI prevent deposition in the wellbore area, the tubing and the formation face to prevent scale. 

For years now, specialized sands known as frac sands have been utilized to augment the production of natural gas and oil from wells.

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a mining technique that greatly enhances oil- and gas-well productivity and is being aggressively deployed all over the world and particularly in North America.

Together, Dow Water & Process Solutions, a business unit of Dow Chemical Co., and Omni Water Solutions have treated more than 245,000 barrels of flowback and produced water from Texas’ Eagle Ford shale hydraulic fracturing operations. 

After 200 hours of continuous operation at a Texas-based commercial disposal well, GE and memsys clearwater Pte. Ltd. assert that a vapor compressor-driven membrane distillation (MD) system is effective in treating produced water.

Heyl & Patterson demonstrated the equipment it manufactures for drying frac sand for the shale gas industry during The Frac Sand Insider Conference. Held June 6-7 at the Westin Convention Center in Pittsburgh, the event was intended for new and experienced frac sand producers.
