Does it include...
* Low Friction Tubing ( Plasma coated with a Diamond Like Coating )
* The Various “Ceramic” beads instead of Sand.
* Other “Fluids” such as Propane instead of H20 and Sand?

The last two are hydraulic fracturing. That is a well completion or well stimulation activity.
EOR is typically a reference to ongoing systems that continue while production continues. For example, pumping in fluid on the outside edges of the field while production flows out of the center; both run continuously. Hydraulic Fracturing is done at a point in time either before production begins, or after stopping production to re-stimulate production after done.
Hydraulic Fracturing can be done at stages for EOR, but it is not a continuous ongoing activity like water flood or CO2 injection.
The Low Friction Tubing I am not familiar with. I’m not sure how that would be applicable to flowing “raw” production fluid that will include water, sand, gas, etc.
Lower friction in the tubing, less pump power required. Check this out tell me what you think...

They are now part of a non publicly traded company out of Canada if I am reading correctly...
