Specialty chemical products have become essential in addressing the complex challenges associated with oil and gas well stimulation. US Global develops and supplies high-performance specialty chemicals designed to enhance well efficiency, productivity, and lifecycle performance from acidizing through hydraulic fracturing.

At US Global , our specialty chemicals are carefully formulated, prepared, stored, and blended under strict quality controls. This disciplined approach ensures reliable field performance, optimized costs, and improved returns, helping operators maintain smooth and efficient well operations throughout the stimulation lifecycle.

As a trusted specialty chemical supplier, US Global has refined its field-ready formulations to support peak stimulation activity at the wellsite. We are fully committed to meeting regulatory requirements while maintaining the highest standards of product quality, reliability, deliverability, and HSE compliance. These principles guide our daily operations and customer partnerships.

Quality, Efficiency & Sustainability

US Global has implemented a comprehensive quality and productivity strategy across packaging, labeling, storage, and shipment of finished products. This approach minimizes chemical waste at the wellsite, reduces product returns, and ultimately delivers greater value and satisfaction to our customers.

Friction Reducers – USGIglide™ Series

Friction reducers are among the most critical additives in the stimulation process. US Global’ USGIglide™ Series of friction reducer suspensions and emulsions delivers consistent, reliable performance during slickwater fracturing operations. These products reduce turbulent flow during pumping, enabling faster fracture creation, improved proppant placement, reduced horsepower requirements, and enhanced operational efficiency.

Gelling Agents – USGIfrac™ Series

The USGIfrac™ Series includes guar-based gelling agents that play a vital role in modern hydraulic fracturing. Guar gum is a water-soluble, non-ionic polysaccharide derived from the guar plant. When added to water, it increases fluid viscosity, helping suspend and transport proppant deep into formation fractures to maximize stimulation effectiveness.

Non-Emulsifiers – USGIstim™ Series

Non-emulsifiers from the USGIstim™ Series are designed to break oil-water emulsions that can restrict production. These products accelerate separation during flowback, allowing faster cleanup and quicker return of the well to production.

Scale Inhibitors – USGIstim™ Series

Scale inhibitors prevent mineral scale formation that can block fluid flow and damage valves, pumps, and pipelines. US Global scale inhibitors adhere to internal system surfaces, delaying and preventing scale deposition to maintain production efficiency and extend equipment life.

Crosslinkers – USGIlink™ Series

US Global offers four USGIlink™ crosslinker formulations designed to maximize fluid viscosity and improve proppant transport at lower pump rates. When combined with guar, these products form high-strength gels suitable for stimulation treatments and pipeline cleaning, helping reduce overall treatment and restimulation costs.

Breakers – USGIbreak™ Series

Breakers reduce fluid viscosity after stimulation, allowing efficient cleanup and flowback. The USGIbreak™ Series incorporates proven chemistries such as sodium perborate and ammonium persulfate, and is suitable for hydraulic fracturing, end-of-job applications, and flush operations.

Flowback Surfactants – FOSSILflow™ Series

Flowback surfactants from the FOSSILflow™ Series enhance fluid recovery after fracturing, improve initial production (IP), and support long-term well performance. These products prevent water blocks, reduce downhole emulsions, and are compatible with most fracturing fluids, performing effectively in freshwater environments.

Biocides – USGIcide™ Series

Biocides from the USGIcide™ Series control bacterial growth that can lead to corrosion, scale, slime formation, and sour gas production. These products effectively target sulfate-reducing, iron-oxidizing, and slime-forming bacteria in fracturing and secondary recovery fluids.

Clay Control Agents – USGIstim™ Series

Reactive clays can swell, disperse, and migrate when exposed to water-based fluids, negatively impacting production. US Global’ clay control agents stabilize clays, preventing formation damage during stimulation, workover, and intervention operations.

Expertise That Maximizes Value

US Global offers a wide range of solutions to improve stimulation efficiency and well performance. Our experienced chemistry experts work closely with customers to identify flow impairment challenges and recommend the most cost-effective, performance-driven solutions that maximize stimulation efficiency, well productivity, and return on investment.
