Oil fracturing proppant and ceramic sand distinction

Theoretically oil  Proppant  should be  frac sand  in one, in fact, ceramic sand and petroleum  frac proppant  is still a difference. Oil fracturing proppant more stringent requirements on the performance, can be said ceramic sand in the boutique. Their different points can be expressed from these points.

1, the oil  fracturing proppant  particle diameter wells to meet different design requirements, usually 0. 4 ~ 0. 8mm, roundness and sphericity of greater than 0.9, and the particle uniformity, smooth surface, the haze value should be less than 100 degrees in order to obtain the highest possible conductivity.
2, oil fracturing proppant particles at a temperature of 200 ° C under the conditions of the fracturing fluid and reservoir fluid chemical reaction does not occur, an acid solubility of the maximum permissible value should be less than 7%.
3, oil fracturing proppant  have sufficient compressive strength and wear resistance capacity can withstand the strong injection pressure and friction, and effectively support the artificial cracks.
4, oil fracturing proppant particles is relatively lower density, ease pumped underground.

Oil fracturing proppant fracturing support is widely used in petroleum, it can directly affect the net income of oil production, and  Proppant  in oil exploitation in the entire costs will not be great. So, fracturing proppant in oil exploration in the play very well.
