About QFloDRA

QFloDRA draws on over 30 years of international DRA experience.

Specialist DRA Consultancy

Drawing on over 30 years of Drag Reducer experience, QFloDRA offers independent technical consultancy on DRA applications in crude oil, refined products and multiphase pipelines.

Combining practical field experience with expertise in pipeline hydraulics, injection systems, engineering and pipeline performance enhancement, we help pipeline operators, oilfield chemical suppliers and oil service companies find effective, reliable and commercially practical DRA solutions.

Our Expertise

QFloDRA has worked with most of the major drag reducer chemicals and conducted numerous field trials worldwide. Our expertise includes troubleshooting slurry DRA installations affected by recurring blockages and chemical stability issues that compromise operational reliability.

Crude Oil and Refined Fuels

  • Higher flow rates
  • Lower operating pressures
  • Lower pump station energy consumption
  • Reduced MOL pump vibration and noise, potentially extending asset life and improving the working environment

Multiphase Systems — Wellheads and Flowlines

  • Higher production from individual wells or entire fields
  • Reduced transient pressure surges and slugging in trunk lines

Independent DRA Performance Audits

For operators concerned about Drag Reducer performance, QFloDRA provides independent site audits to establish actual DRA performance.

The measured performance can then be compared with the performance specified in the purchase contract.

Injection Systems

QFloDRA has designed a wide range of Drag Reducer injection skids, from simple frame-mounted pneumatic systems adapted to operate using produced gas for wellhead applications, to air-conditioned containerised injection systems interfaced with a client's SCADA or DCS system.
