Fluid Systems

One of the distinct advantages that Canyon offers to the industry is specialized fluid systems. As the western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) becomes more mature, reservoir quality available for development continues to decline. In response to that fundamental truth, Canyon has developed fluid systems that not only match those being pumped by other service companies today, but we are also developing a new generation of fracturing fluids which will facilitate the exploitation of reservoirs where conventional techniques and materials have proven unsuccessful.

Fluid Systems
OptimumTM HC Hydrocarbon Based Fracturing Fluid For Water Sensitive Formations
OptimumTM XG Rapidly Crosslinked Water System With High Viscosity Development 
OptimumTM XHP Crosslinked Water Fracturing Fluid With CO-2 / N2 and Methanol Compatibility 
OptimumTM XCM  Crosslinked Water Fracturing Fluid With CO-2 / N2 Compatibility
OptimumTM  FW Industry Standard Foamed Water Systems For Minimizing Fluid Requirements
OptimumTM FOAM+ Guar-Free Foamed Water System Utilizing Specialized Surfactants and Foam Structure Optimization
OptimumTM  FHC  Specialized Foamed Hydrocarbon System For Maximizing Fluid Recovery
OptimumTM  PE Oil/Water Emulsion System For Low Cost Applications

Note: All of Canyons crosslinked water systems are available as linear gels for applications where lower viscosity is desirable.
