Strengthen the rock. Sustain the production.
VitriReinforce is a carbonate consolidation and carbonate hardening treatment for acid fracture enhancement and production enhancement. A consolidation chemistry that reinforces chalk, limestone and dolomite — on the fracture face and deep into the matrix — while preserving, or increasing, permeability. Deployed stand-alone or blended directly into the acid stage.
Acid fracturing opens the rock. VitriReinforce keeps it open.
Acid stimulation etches conductive channels — but weakens carbonates causing fractures to collapse, embed, and creep closed under stress, eroding the very conductivity the treatment created. VitriReinforce reinforces the rock so the gains last.

Holds the fracture open
Keeps permeability
Same acid job. A completely different fracture.
Right after the job, both wells look stimulated. Then production begins: drawdown raises closure stress, and the acid-weakened face starts to crush and creep.
Conductivity that survives closure stress
Acid-etched conductivity decays rapidly as closure stress rises and the soft face embeds. Consolidated faces resist embedment and closure — retaining the majority of conductivity deep into the stress envelope.
Modified API fracture-conductivity testing on Indiana Limestone. VitriReinforce Gen 2 is applied as a post-flush after the 15% HCl acid-in treatment; conductivity regained to 2% KCl, measured across closure stress.
Two forms. Any treatment program.
VitriReinforce drops into existing pumping schedules — no specialised equipment. Versatile across primary, re-stimulation and remedial programs: run the liquid stand-alone or alongside the acid, or dissolve the powder into the fluid system of your choice.
Stand-alone or acid additive
Dissolvable powder
Conductivity is only valuable if it pays back.
VitriReinforce is built to be modelled. Map the conductivity uplift to sustained rate, incremental recovery and payback on a per-stage basis in our value calculator. Illustrative base case. Outputs depend on reservoir, completion and price deck — model with your inputs.
Proven in the North Sea, not just the lab.
Six field trials to date, with the longest-running treated well still producing solids-free.
