A small dose of ScaleGone Encapsulated Slow-Release Solid Scale Inhibitor is released during the fracturing operation. It slowly releases additional scale inhibitor as needed, resulting in extended protection.

ScaleGone is designed to protect against common oilfield scales, including:

• Inhibited scales
• Calcium carbonate calcium sulfate
• Strontium sulfate barium sulfate
• Iron sulfide NORM

Compatibility and Specifications

ScaleGone is compatible with all known proppants and aqueous fracturing fluids, including slickwater, linear, and crosslinked gels.

ScaleGone Specifications

• Solid Specific gravity: 1.05 
• pH: 6.5 to 7.5
• Mesh size: 14/40
• Flash point: >230°C
• DOT: Classification Not Regulated
• Packaging: As required

Product Benefits

• Provides a steady source of scale inhibition for years
• A trial in the Bakken is still showing protection after 1.5 years
• 80 wt% active, which is approximately five times more active than any other product on the market
• Dynamic scale loop testing shows a minimum inhibitor concentration of 0.8 ppm
• Where other solid inhibitors leave insoluble residue like polymer or diatomaceous earth in the proppant, Scalegone leaves no residue
• Proppant stress testing showed no permeability reduction from the ScaleGone up to a closure pressure of 6,000 psi
• Can be used in reservoirs with a bottomhole temperature up to 280°F
   

Dosing
ScaleGone is typically dosed at a rate of 0.5 to 1.0 lb per 1,000 lb of proppant. It is added within 75% to 100% of each stage. It can be added on-the-fly with the proppant, eliminating the need for any specialty equipment.

FinoTAP can be used in acid spearhead applications ahead of hydraulic fracture treatments. It is compatible with most acid additives, such as gelling agents, friction reducers, clay control agents, etc.

FinoTAP contains an effective corrosion inhibitor that can provide protection for all metal surfaces up to 250°F or 350°F in 15 and 20% HCL. Additional corrosion inhibitors will be needed above the maximum temperature or when applied in 28% HCL or in coiled tubing applications. When there is a potential to produce iron-induced sludge, the addition of iron-reducing agent like Finoric’s FE-RED is recommended.

Typical Physical Properties

• Appearance: Clear, yellow liquid
• Odor: Vinegar
• Specific Gravity: 1.02 to 1.05
• Charge: Non-ionic
• Pour Point: 25°F
• Flash Point: 180°F
• Packaging: Customizable

Product Benefits

• Non-ionic and compatible with most formation crudes; emulsion testing is recommended prior to using in a new zone
• Reduces the need for multiple products in inventory
• For heavy lease crudes, an additional dosage of a non-emulsifier may be required
• Can potentially alter corrosion inhibitor concentration pending conditions

Dosing

FinoTAP is typically used at a dosage of 8.0 gpt in 15 and 20% HCL. Laboratory testing is essential to ensure compatibility with lease crude.

Enhance | Protect | Remediate

We believe there is a better way to enhance production and improve cash flow from existing unconventional wells 

Enhance and remediate

Our patent-pending turnkey, rigless chemical process requires no mechanical intervention and is designed to enhance hydrocarbon relative permeability, improve fracture conductivity, and remediate downhole damages to increase the profitability of your base production.

We design our chemistry to both boost production and remediate any identified damages. We evaluate multiple customized chemistries to specifically address the challenges with your well. There is no one size fits all solution.
  

Rigorous candidate selection process

Our lab and engineering design process allows us to high-grade candidates, identify damage mechanisms, and provide a probabilistic forecast of treatment results. 
  

Treatment design

Treatment volume is based on the original fracturing job. We pair chosen chemistry with specialty diverter to maximize coverage in the lateral.

Treatment execution

Through our partners, we provide fit-for-purpose pumping equipment designed to correctly deploy the chemistry.

Performance and profitability

We design our technology with our client's profitability in mind. This process is designed to increase production with a payback of less than six months.
