The DriFlow system is the most reliable and advanced dry friction reducer delivery platform on the market — engineered for every frac job, from single-well operations to complex simul-frac operations.
The DriFlow platform includes the DriFlow mixing equipment, the DriFlow operations team, and the DriFlow dry friction reducer chemicals. The equipment & service model is largely the same; we like to say the beauty is in the simplicity! Robust equipment, simple operation, expert utilization of technology, and highly trained operators yield the best overall service. See below for how it works on location!
Note: The DriFlow 4.X unit is shown above. All DriFlow units share the same core functionality — the 2.X and 3.X models add additional discharge options (suction-side, discharge-side) on top of the standard blender tub connection.
The DriFlow platform adapts to your operational model — choose the service package that fits your job, your crew, and your budget.
24/7 on-location DCS DriFlow operators ensure the most comprehensive turn-key service solution. Our team manages all things from start to finish on the job site.
The same full service package as our manned operation, but with tablet-centric operations from the data-van, and enhanced oversight from our Remote Operations Center.
Whether you're running manned or unmanned, you get the same core infrastructure — inventory management, ROC oversight, lab analytics, and data visibility — from day one.
The unmanned model removes the on-location technician and a handful of configuration options, delivering the core DriFlow service at a lower cost per pound. It's the same platform, the same reliability, and the same DCS team behind it.
For manned operation, DCS's DriFlow operator ensures optimal on-location service.

Every DriFlow unit is supported by purpose-built ancillary equipment — engineered as a system, not an afterthought.
Bulk dry chemical transport & on-location storage, ready to deliver product. The PT is equipped with dual augers & conditioning equipment to deliver dry FR or guar. The dispensed product is vacuumed into the DriFlow unit's mixer, keeping the process dust-free & continuous throughout the job.

DCS has deep operational experience across all key domestic onshore operating basins and shale plays. From the Permian and Eagle Ford to the Marcellus, Utica, Haynesville, DJ, Bakken, and beyond — the DriFlow platform has been proven in the harshest water chemistries, the most demanding simul-frac environments, and the widest range of operating conditions in the industry. Wherever you operate, DCS has been there.
Proprietary dry polyacrylamide-based friction reducers engineered for superior dispersion, rapid hydration, and consistent performance across variable water chemistries.
