Ceramic proppant domestic demand gap is relatively large

Ceramic proppant domestic demand gap is relatively large


    The world's  Ceramic proppant  production capacity of about 10 million tons. Overall, the world's ceramic proppant market supply and demand balance, a slight surplus production capacity. Germany, the United States and other countries developments in the field of ceramic proppant is more mature, so in the world occupies a large market. The current domestic situation of ceramic proppant industry can not meet the high-end products in the domestic market demand, rely on imports, competitive low-end products, low prices, low profits.
    Although China is an oil-rich country, there is a certain potential for development; but Chinese oil and gas resources are relatively scarce, according to the amount of resources square kilometers of land area, total proven recoverable reserves, remaining recoverable reserves and production values, our country are significantly lower than the world average, China's onshore oil and gas resources after nearly half a century of mining, oil and gas fields already in many of the late, no gas field exploration and development more difficult.
    Proppant fracturing oil and gas industry is an important one of the materials needed, high-quality oil  frac proppant  to improve the economic benefits of a significant role, but at present China's oil and gas supply and demand increasingly tense, oil imports dramatic growth. In the current international political and economic situation,

China's oil from excessive dependence on international resources should make China's oil security issues become very prominent, seriously affecting the safety of China's economic development.
    Proppants currently used are quartz sand, ceramic, and various resin-coated composite particles. Wherein the quartz sand cheapest price, relatively low density, ease of construction pumping, so it is widely used, but low intensity quartz sand, sphericity is poor, thereby reducing the fracture conductivity, in particular for closing high pressure does not The deep, quartz sand coated with resin composite particle sphericity have improved, a higher corrosion resistance can be achieved targets, even though the internal quartz sand are crushed, the resin layer may be coated outside wrapped pieces, remain crack The conductivity is fracturing  Proppant  a development direction, but the current product shelf life is relatively short, the cost is also high. Do not be resistant to corrosion, temperature resistance and compressive strength are higher than the
quartz sand, thus decreasing fracture conductivity is much lower, and now has more and more widely used in oil and gas fields.
    Fracturing technology is an important means of transformation of oil and gas fields, it is the use of artificial methods of the fluid injected into the rock grassroots to exceed formation fracture strength of pressure on the rock around the wellbore cracks, forming a channel with high flow capacity, in order to maintain after fracturing On the formation of cracks, oil products can smoothly pass, injecting particulate proppant is one important measure, therefore, the development of high-performance proppant for oil and gas exploration has important significance.
    Ceramic proppant has applications in the oil and gas wells plays an important role, not only to increase oil and gas production, but more prolonged service life of oil and gas wells. Therefore, from the research and development of ceramic proppant technology, practical point of view, there is a very good market space, in line with the relevant policies of the local government. Ceramic proppant products in the future exploration and development of oil and gas wells applications will be more widely used, in line with national industrial policy.
