Reuse Instead of Release
Reuse 100% of Flowback Water

With natural gas exploration expanding into more environmentally sensitive locations, producers rely on Kroff Well Services, Inc. technology and expert laboratory support and their strategic partners for responsible and effective frac water treatment that can result in 100% reuse.

FLOW CHART: 7 Steps To 100% Frac Water Reuse (PDF)

Reuse is a practical and cost-effective alternative to processes that risk contaminating surface water with bromides and other potentially harmful constituents.

FLOW CHART: Frac Water Treatment Design (PDF)

Optimized water treatment designs are based on fast, accurate and comprehensive analyses that identify water quality, FR loop performance, scaling potential, microbiological reporting and compatibility with geological formations.

The result is a frac water strategy that reduces the amount of fresh water withdrawn from natural sources, ensures compliance with evolving state and federal regulations, and demonstrates to the public that low-impact fracturing is possible.

Geochemical Modeling

Fluid design and sequential flowback data are evaluated with sophisticated software to create 3-D imaging and assessments specific to down-hole applications.

Microbiological Evaluations

Testing is performed to provide a rapid analysis of microbiological concentrations in water samples, including extensive analysis for sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), acid-producing bacteria (APB) and total aerobic bacteria counts.

Immediate assessment for total bacteria population is performed by the Adenosine Triphosphate Process (ATP). More sophisticated evaluations are demonstrated below:

Sequential Flowback Reports

Water samples are submitted during post-frac flowback to enable KWS to anticipate the geochemical impact throughout a reservoir.

Sequential flowback analyses provide a basis for flowback reuse strategies, including blending plans and water remediation recommendations.

Proprietary frac fluid technology incorporates pre-frac water analysis and historical flowback results to provide dosage recommendations based on geographic location. To learn more, click here.

Friction Reduction Analysis

KWS employs advanced friction reduction analyzers (FR loops) to optimize frac fluid by determining the impact of various water conditions and fluid design components on performance.
