ADVANTAGES
• Increase break times can be obtained
• Higher concentrations can be used without compromising fluid viscosity during proppant placement.
• Solid breaker which will concentrate in the proppant pack during fluid leak-off.
• Increase conductivity of the created fracture by:
• clean-up of proppant pack
• breaking of filter cakes from linear or borate crosslinked fluids.

APPLICATION
• EnCap-LEX can be directly substituted into fluids using EnCap-LE or Hemicellulase enzyme breakers to reduce viscosity.
• EnCap-LEX can be used in high pH or low pH systems (greater than pH of 8.5, below 140°F) when an encapsulated acid, such as EnCap-A or EnCap-SBS, are also added.
• Break guar or HPG based fluids that are below pH 8.5 or 140°F. If a delayed release acid is also added, high pH or borate crosslinked fluid can be broken.
• Breaker concentrations can be increased without effecting proppant transport capabilities of the fluid.
• Breaker will concentrate in the fracture and break filter cakes from low pH linear or foamed fluids or high pH or borate crosslinked fluids if an encapsulated acid is also added.
