Abstract
A system and method for manufacturing and using a water-based friction reducer. The anionic water-based friction reducer is environmentally friendly. It results in long term stability with no separation or solid sediments. It is also less expensive than oil-based friction reducing liquids. The water-based friction reducing liquid has water, a suspension polymer, an inorganic salt, an amide, and a dispersant. The water-based friction reducing liquid can replace oil-based friction reducing liquids.
