SCALEGUARD

SCALEGUARD proppant-delivered scale-inhibiting technology is a porous ceramic proppant engineered with an innovative controlled release technology and infused with scale-inhibiting chemicals.

Our unique SCALEGUARD technology outperforms other production assurance treatments which can be inefficient, expensive and require to be repeated due to their short effective periods.

​SCALEGUARD technology is placed throughout the entire fracture as part of the standard fracturing process. A single treatment can be designed to safeguard the entire production system-from the fracture through the wellbore to the surface processing equipment-or the life of the well.

SCALEGUARD technology serves as both a scale inhibitor and proppant that has no impact on fracture conductivity. It does not compromise proppant pack conductivity, nor create excessive fines that restrict or block hydrocarbon flow spaces: a risk associated with lower strength particulate-based carriers

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about
SCALEGUARD

  • 1. What is SCALEGUARD® used for?

    SCALEGUARD is a proppant-delivered scale inhibition technology designed to prevent scaling in hydraulic fracturing operations.

  • 2. How does it improve well performance?

    It releases scale inhibitors directly in the fracture, preventing buildup and ensuring consistent hydrocarbon flow.

  • 3. What types of wells benefit from SCALEGUARD?

    It is ideal for wells prone to barium, calcium, or iron scaling, particularly in high-salinity environments.

  • 4. How does it compare to traditional scale inhibitors?

    SCALEGUARD integrates with proppant delivery, reducing operational steps and chemical treatments.

  • 5. Is it environmentally friendly?

    Yes, SCALEGUARD minimizes chemical exposure, ensuring safe and sustainable use.

  • 6. How long does the scale inhibition last?

    It provides long-term protection, extending the period between interventions.

  • 7. Is it compatible with various fluid systems?

    Yes, SCALEGUARD works with different fracturing fluids, enhancing operational flexibility.
