Vistar

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Vistar System is a premium, high-performance fracturing fluid for applications from 70° to 300°F (10°
to 205°C). Applications outside this temperature range will require special consideration. This water-based
system is comprised of a refined, derivatized guar gum (GW-45), 5%-25%(wt) caustic and zirconium-
based complexors XLW-63 or XLW-14. The fluid is designed to be pumped using either batch-mix or
continuous-mix processes. This system is based on ultra-low polymer loadings, making the quality of the
fluid more dependent on the strict adherence to the mixing instructions, more so than other fracturing
fluids. Deviating from these mixing instructions should only be attempted after consulting with the Tomball
Technology Center.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Super Rheo-Gel System is a fracturing fluid design exclusively for continuous mix hydraulic fracturing
applications. This system can be applied to formations with temperatures ranging from 80(26.7°C) to
300°F(148.6°C). Super Rheo-Gel is compatible with kerosene, diesel and a wide variety of crude oils.
Each oil sample to be used for the fracturing operation should be evaluated before using. The amount of
gelling agent and activator chemicals required will depend on the BHT of the well.

NOTE:
I. Ratio of GO-64 and XLO-5 is always 1 to 1.
II. Base oil may be kerosene, diesel, or lease oil. District laboratory testing with a
representative sample of oil should be done to confirm the proper loadings.
III. Breaker GBO-5L is recommend for temperatures ranging from 80-180°F (25.7-82.2°C). The
amount of GBO-5L, may vary depending upon the base oil, the dilution of the return fluid,
the bottom hole temperature, and the turn around time. District laboratory testing with a
representative sample of oil must be done to confirm the proper breaker loadings.
IV. Breaker GBO-6 is recommended for temperatures ranging from 175 -300°F (79.4-148.9°C).
The amount of GBO-6, may also vary depending upon the base oil, the dilution of the return
fluid, the bottom hole temperature, and the turn around time. Mixing instructions for GBO-6
appear at the end of these instructions. District laboratory testing with a representative
sample of oil must be done to confirm the proper breaker loadings.
