Master Surfactant

MSS-2000 is a proprietary, highly effective, non-ionic surfactant. The product is soluble in water, brine and acid solutions. The surfactant provides a low surface tension allowing faster and more efficient flow back of the water injected during hydraulic fracturing operations.

MSS-2000 is added to frac fluids at typical dose rates of 1 - 2 gpt. At this dose rate, the product reduces the surface tension of water or brine to approximately 29 mN/m. Less energy is therefore required to remove the water from the fractured reservoir, resulting in higher gas or oil rates sooner. Flowback surfactants are critical in both moderate permeability oil reservoirs and low permeability gas reservoirs. Flow back of the fracturing fluid is improved by reducing the capillary pressure of the fluid in the fracture region.
