AGA-461

Gelling Agents (AGA®) — Breakers

AGA-461 is oxidizing breaker containing sodium bromate. It is mainly used to reduce the viscosity of fracturing fluid after proppant placement. Water based gelled fracturing fluids with guar and guar derivative polymers are used for viscosity development, leak off control and proppant transport during hydraulic fracturing operations. After proppant has been placed in the fracture, the crosslinked fluid needs to be degraded and get hydrocarbons to flow out of the fractured formation. This is accomplished by addition of AGA-461 to the fracturing fluids that break the crosslinked polymer molecule into smaller pieces of lower molecular weight.
