Real-time, on-site testing allows Orion technicians to constantly adjust treatments to assure the best outcomes at all times. Call Orion at <\/strong>432-219-8100<\/strong><\/a> .<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You were sure<\/strong> your first bacteria treatment was enough, during the completion process. Bacteria were all destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you started seeing bacteria-caused problems such as Iron Sulfide, H2S and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happened?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frac water treatment should include two types of biocides, says Orion Water Solutions President Warren Sumner. And when biocides are chosen by their compatibility with other frac fluids, the resulting bacteria control and frac results are even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClO2 is great as a shock treatment,\u201d Sumner explains. \u201cIt kills harmful bacteria quickly and very cost-effectively right up front.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut,\u201d he adds, \u201cSometimes you need a preservative biocide to go with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClO2 is like an initial air assault, and preservative biocides are the troops that kill anything that snuck in after the initial assault.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why not use only preservative biocide? Because they often cannot act fast enough and are not cost effective for shock treatment on water with high bacteria counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orion Water Solutions technicians monitor water conditions at the start and along the way apply the best and most cost-effective treatments at all stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is no single \u2018set and forget\u2019 treatment regimen,\u201d Sumner says. \u201cJust as there is no one way to frac every well. If your frac water is coming from multiple sources, including freshwater wells or a collection of producing wells, the levels of bacteria and solids will vary. There\u2019s no need to waste money over-treating when levels are low, but when levels rise, you don\u2019t want to risk the productivity of the well by under-treating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orion\u2019s data is real-time\u2014not dependent on offsite labs and \u201cbug bottle\u201d results that take weeks. This allows them to make treatment adjustments on the fly and in time to maximize efficacy and minimize production problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there\u2019s another component Orion\u2019s onsite teams monitor\u2014the compatibility of chemicals in the frac fluid itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome of these chemicals don\u2019t play well together,\u201d Sumner states. \u201cThe wrong combination can reduce the effectiveness of the biocide, the friction reducer, or both. Given all the data we collect and analyze, our teams can prevent these issues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a third issue: collateral damage. \u201cSo many wells are drilled so close together, it\u2019s not uncommon for the fracturing of one well to affect the production in a nearby producing well,\u201d Sumner points out. \u201cIt can be the same with untreated bacteria. Communication between wells can cause untreated or undertreated bacteria to be pumped from one well into another\u2014and that well could be yours or someone else\u2019s if the wells are at the edge of a lease. It\u2019s almost like coughing in someone\u2019s face, except more expensive,\u201d says Sumner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orion\u2019s team of experts can make sure their biocide treatments do the job at the right level and the right cost while maintaining compatibility with other completion fluids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This gives their clients the best of all possible wells. Call Orion this week to put them to work at your completion sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
