Dissolvable Magnesium Alloy Frac Ball – Engineered for Multi-Stage Completion Efficiency
When you're planning multi-stage hydraulic fracturing in extended-reach laterals, the Dissolvable Magnesium Alloy Frac Ball from Shaanxi Hagrien Energy Technology offers a proven, mill-out-free solution. Our enterprise-grade balls deliver compressive strength exceeding 450 MPa and withstand differential pressures up to 10,000 psi (70 MPa) across temperatures from 40°C to 150°C. With a low density of approximately 1.8 g/cm³ and customizable dissolution rates engineered to your well's salinity and temperature profile, you get predictable performance backed by full traceability. Each batch comes with COA/COC documentation and is produced in our closed-loop manufacturing system—from alloy melting to precision machining—ensuring dimensional tolerance within ±0.002 inches and uniform microstructure across diameters up to Ø300 mm billet stock.
What Makes Our Dissolvable Magnesium Alloy Frac Ball Different?
You're not just buying a ball. You're getting a complete engineered solution.
Our Dissolvable Magnesium Alloy Frac Ball is a high-performance completion tool designed for operators who need reliability under extreme downhole conditions. It's built from a specialized magnesium-matrix composite that maintains structural integrity during stimulation, then dissolves completely in your wellbore fluids—whether brine or acid.
Here's why it matters to you:
Eliminate Mill-Out Operations
Traditional composite or steel balls require costly coiled tubing interventions. Our solution dissolves on its own. No rig time wasted. No mechanical risk in your laterals.
Engineered for HTHP Environments
Your wells operate at the edge of performance. So do our balls. They maintain seat seal integrity under loads up to 15,000 psi before controlled dissolution begins.
Tailored Dissolution Kinetics
We design alloy systems based on your actual operating conditions: temperature, salinity, fluid chemistry, and required dissolution timeline. This isn't off-the-shelf. It's application-specific engineering.

How It Works in Your Operation
The magic happens at the microstructure level.
Our magnesium matrix reacts with chloride ions in your wellbore fluids through an electrochemical process. Higher salinity accelerates the reaction. Lower salinity? We adjust the alloy grade accordingly.
During Stimulation:
The Dissolvable Magnesium Alloy Frac Ball seats perfectly. It holds pressure. Your frac stages execute as planned.
Post-Stimulation:
Controlled dissolution begins. Within 24 to 72 hours—depending on your well conditions—the ball breaks down into microscopic particles and aqueous ions.
During Flowback:
Everything clears out naturally. No residue. No obstruction. Full bore access restored.
Real-World Applications Where You Need This
Extended-Reach Lateral Wells
In horizontal wells exceeding 10,000 feet, coiled tubing faces friction limits. Our balls give you full bore access without mechanical intervention.
HTHP Reservoirs

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does fluid salinity affect dissolution?
A: Salinity acts as a catalyst. Higher chloride concentrations accelerate the electrochemical reaction. For low-salinity environments, we offer specialized alloy grades engineered for those conditions.
Q: Can the ball survive an acid squeeze?
A: Magnesium reacts with HCl. If you're planning an acid wash, we can apply a protective coating or help you adjust your treatment sequence.
Q: What's the typical dissolution timeframe?
A: Depending on temperature and brine concentration, we engineer dissolution to occur within 24 to 72 hours post-stimulation. Your well conditions drive our alloy design.
Q: Is there any residue left in the wellbore?
A: No. The alloy breaks down into microscopic particles and aqueous ions that flow out naturally during flowback.
Q: What's the shelf life?
A: When stored in original vacuum-sealed packaging with desiccant, our balls have a 24-month shelf life. This prevents premature oxidation.
Q: Can you customize ball sizes?
A: Absolutely. We support drawing-based production and prototype development. Our engineering team works with you to match your specific completion design.
