?The Baker Hughes BJ SmartCare family of products provides complete flexible frac systems and additives that meet technical performance and environmental compliance requirements. The qualification process identifies the products and systems that meet or exceed existing regulatory requirements and provides a scientific protocol for evaluating and selecting products for use in areas where regulations are limited or absent.

“To optimize well productivity, you have to match the fracturing technology to the reservoir,” said Lindsay Link, president of Baker Hughes’ pressure pumping business segment. “The SmartCare family gives us the flexibility to combine environmentally preferred fluids, additives, and specialty chemicals and create a fit-for-purpose optimized solution for each well.”

To date, products have been qualified in four fracturing systems: slickwater, linear gel, crosslinked, and viscoelastic. www.bakerhughes.com
