DBW-1
Encapsulated High Temperature Breaker
Product Family No. H066911701

DESCRIPTION/APPLICATION:
DBW-1 is a delayed release oxidizing breaker, which gradually releases the oxidizer into the fracturing
fluid to allow the break of the fluid to be delayed or higher breaker concentrations to be used. DBW-1 can
thereby provide improved proppant transport and improved clean-up of the proppant pack. Since DBW-1
is a solid, the breaker will not be lost to the formation during fluid leakoff. DBW-1 can be used as the sole
breaker or in combination with other breakers. Although loading requirements may vary from job to job,
higher concentrations than a standard oxidative breaker can be used without compromising fluid viscosity
during proppant placement.

FEATURES/BENEFITS:
Provides improved clean up of the proppant pack
Higher concentrations may be used without compromising fluid viscosity
Compatible with other breakers
Cost effective
