Gel Breakers
Gel breakers are chemicals used to degrade or
break down gelled fluids, such as gelled drilling
fluids or fracturing fluids, after they have served
their purpose. They help restore fluid mobility
and facilitate well cleanup. Chemicals that
disrupt or break down gels, often used in
oilfield applications to restore fluid flow.
APPLICATION & USAGE
- Commonly employed in the oil and gas industry to break the gel structure of fluids used in well stimulation treatments (e.g., hydraulic fracturing) or drilling operations, allowing for easier flowback and production.
- Utilized in hydraulic fracturing, drilling fluids, and industrial processes to break down gels and restore fluid mobility.
