Viscosity responsive polymers for enhanced oil extraction

ICL Innovation seeks viscosity responsive polymers to be used in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) oil extraction process.

Key Success Criteria:

• Functionality
• Economic viability

Background:

Viscosity responsiveness should allow a better efficiency in the fracking procedure. Product should be tailored to the oil & gas industry requirements in this aspect. ICL Innovation seeks alternatives to guar gum with similar performance attributes and better availability and economics.

Preferred Collaboration Type(s):

• Funded research
• Exclusive IP Licensing
• Joint Development
