Self-Healing Well Barriers with QuartzPack
Gas-tight, self-healing well barriers that outperform cement in every application.
FloPetrol has proven QuartzPack in 200+ wells with major operators including Equinor, Chevron, DNO and BP, achieving 90%+ success rates.
Why Should you use QuartzPack?
| WELL BARRIER COMPARISON | Quartzpack | Cement |
|---|---|---|
| Self-healing capability | Automatically reshapes | Fractures permanently |
| Removable when needed | Pump out easily | Requires costly milling |
| Shrinkage/micro-annulus | Zero shrinkage | Shrinks, creates leaks |
| Operational downtime | No cure time | 24+ hours waiting |
| Stress response | Adapts to wellbore changes | Cracks under stress |
| Long-term integrity | Non-degradable for centuries | Degrades over time |

Why Should you use QuartzPack?
➀SELF-HEALING
Automatically reshapes to maintain seal integrity when subjected to downhole stresses.
➁INSTANTLY REMOVABLE
Pump it out anytime - no milling, no side-tracking risk.
➂NEVER HARDENS
No waiting for cure time. No rig downtime.
➃GAS TIGHT
Ultra-low permeability provides permanent pressure seal for centuries.
➄ ZERO SHRINKAGE
Perfect wellbore contact maintained forever.
➅ PERMANENT INTEGRITY
Non-degradable quartz maintains seal for eternity.
About QuartzPack®
QuartzPack is a Bingham plastic made from engineered quartz particles, water, and biodegradable polymers. It flows like liquid when pumped but acts solid when at rest. This reversible process repeats indefinitely, creating permanent well barriers that reshape with changing downhole conditions.
The engineered particle distribution creates gas-tight sealing as smaller particles fill voids between larger ones. When downhole stress exceeds its yield strength, QuartzPack automatically liquefies, reshapes to new wellbore geometry, then re-solidifies—maintaining perfect integrity without curing or hardening.
