... associated with high TDS fluids (produced water) such as pH, hydration time, ionic strength, and suspended solids, collected the corresponding optimal ranges for these parameters in laboratory tests, and reported some of the validity of the findings under actual conditions in field trials around the world...

... This paper accounts for data from more than 100 flow loop tests performed using field water samples from the Delaware and Midland basins. The flow loop determined maximum friction reduction percentage, hydration time, and FR stability. Further, a water analysis was performed for each test...
