Surfactants for stimulation and fracturing

Surfactants from Baker Hughes are an integral part of hydraulic fracturing fluids, with wide-ranging properties to serve your most critical stimulation needs.

Our range of surfactants, which are added in small doses in stimulation fluids, help in a variety of applications:

• Effectively carry proppant and open fractures in your deepest, hottest formations
• Optimize the stability and performance of binary foam fracturing services in your low-pressure or water sensitive formations
• Dramatically improve the fluid recovery rate for virtually all of your aqueous fracturing fluids, including foamed gelled, crosslinked systems, and even matrix acidizing fluids
• Minimize environmental impact without sacrificing performance

The table below summarizes our family of surfactants for your fracturing needs.
