Operations & Equipment
TOPS utilizes state of the art density and chemical controls which provide a high level of accuracy. We are capable of providing technologies including Borate and Zr complex chemistry utilizing Guar and CMHPG polymers. In addition, we can pump FR, linear gel, and synthetic polymer systems. To augment our gel systems, we pump any range of proppant types and sizes.
Analysis of the fracturing job takes place in a cutting edge on site facility with well-trained operations and technical crews. Our data stream capability includes fully automatic chemical and density controls. The van is equipped with satellite communication, powerful computers, and the most up to date software including Accufrac and Fracpro.
The QAQC is a fully functioning mobile lab offering H20 and sand analysis. Testing of all job specific chemicals is standard practice including live samples of pH, viscosity, and temperature. We provide a plotted graph of the cross linked gel from the point of hydration to breakdown simulating down hole pressures and temperatures.
