Alcomer

Alcomer® are specialized fluid-loss control additives, which remain stable even against concentrated salt solutions. They allow reliable cementing jobs even under difficult conditions. They also act as powerful deoilers (reverse demulsifiers) and help remove residual oil from separated water. BTC’s Alcomer® gelling agents in general are mostly applied in two ways: ensuring that proppants are placed correctly in hydraulic fracturing and, when applied in combination with acids, to ensure a good matrix acidizing frac job. The also serve as friction reducers. A much more efficient pumping during hydraulic fracturing is usually achieved by applying our Alcomer® types. Alcomer® are used to prevent shale from swelling. They reduce water loss from stimulation fluids to the formation. Unwanted fluid production can be mitigated by the use of these conformance control polymers. Successfully drilled wellbores are cleaned up after the fact with Alcomer® flocculants.
