Treat
produced, fracture flowback, and drilling waste water for reuse in a fracture fluid fracture job included more than 500,000 gal (1893 m3) of water and 500,000 lbm (226 796 kg) of fracture sand across six stages

Baker Hughes solution and results The
H2prO HMS Water Management Service successfully and costeffectively treated the produced, fracture flowback, and drilling waste water just enough for reuse
Formulated
cross-linked polysaccharide-based fracture fluid using 100% of waste streams generated
Approximately
16,000 bbl (1907 m3) of treated water reused to complete a six-stage fracture that resulted in higher initial production than the field average
Before H2prO HMS service
A West Texas operator was using fresh water for hydraulic fracturing while fracture flowback water with drilling waste was being trucked off to disposal sites. To reduce freshwater consumption and disposal costs, Baker Hughes proposed its H2prO™ HMS Water Management Service, which uses an innovative, patentpending electrocoagulation technology to remove heavy metals and suspended solids from the water. The H2prO HMS service was a practical and cost-effective method for treating produced, fracture flowback and drilling waste water to achieve the operator’s required technical and economic goals.
Fresh Water Needed (truckloads)
Well Production (bbl)
With H2prO HMS service
The treated water was comprehensively tested and a crosslinked polysaccharidebased fracture fluid was formulated using 100% of the operator’s waste streams. The newly formulated treatment was pumped at rates of 60 to 65 BPM throughout a six-stage fracture at treating pressures of 5,000 to 5,500 psi (34 to 38 MPa). Initial resulting production was 75 B/D (12 m3/d), slightly higher than the expected field average. At the same time, transportation and disposal costs were reduced by 98%, freshwater usage was reduced by 50%, and overall operating costs were reduced by 20%.
