Ceramic proppant is a granular product with high fracturing intensity

Ceramic proppant is a granular product with high fracturing intensity, mainly for oilfield downhole support, to increase production of oil and gas,an
environmentally friendly product. This product is the use of high-quality bauxite proppant and other raw materials, sintered ceramic, is a substitute for natural quartz sand, glass beads, metal balls and other low-strength proppant,to increase production of oil and gas have good results.When oil and gas exploration in deep, high pressure low permeability deposits closed after fracturing treatment, the rock cracked petroleum,oil and gas channel formed from the cracks in the collection out.

Oil proppant performance requirements

Oil proppant performance requirements:proppant conductivity sufficient compressive strength and wear resistance, can withstand strong pressure and friction during injection, and effectively support the artificial cracks;the relative density of the proppant particles to be low, to facilitate pumped downhole;resin coated proppant particles under conditions of a temperature of 200 degrees, with the fracturing fluid and the reservoir fluid is not a chemical effect, acid solubility of the maximum permissible value should be less than 7%.
Petroleum hydraulic fracturing proppant along with high-pressure solution is filled into the formation in rock fissures, cracks do not play a supporting closed due to stress release effect, thereby maintaining high conductivity, so that oil and gas flow, increase production.

Clean fracturing fluid and proppant transport laid an important impact on the fracturing effect

Clean fracturing fluid and proppant transport laid an important impact on the fracturing effect, currently based in this area are more theoretical research and field test, and experimental research on indoor less.A transparent parallel plate fracture filling simulation device for four factors proppant settling laws were studied. The results showed that: the greater the viscosity,the sedimentation rate is smaller; fracturing fluid sand-carrying performance with increasing displacement, reduce proppant density linear growth law; the sand was less affected than the sedimentation rate; which three main factors the impact of fracturing fluid carrying capacity of descending order of clean fracturing fluid viscosity,density and proppant sand-liquid ratio.Recognize proppant settling rules can be further improved rationality fractured wells construction
parameters.
Proppant in the fracture sanding concentration,distribution, etc.are laid way affect the important fracture conductivity.The factors that determine the distribution of proppant in the fracture displacement law including collision construction,operation pressure,sand-liquid ratio, fracture surface, proppant particles between proppant and fracturing fluid properties and so on.It has been reported in the Fracturing proppants settling in the law, but has not yet formed a systematic research. Therefore, strengthening the settlement of the proppant in the fracture, and has important practical implications for oil fracturing wells.
Domestic researchers discussed migration and law laid proppant in theory, field test mainly rely on simulation software, there are few aspects of research experiments. Transparent parallel plate device research proppant law laid artificial fracture to guide mine construction.

Ceramic proppant, also called hydraulic fracturing sand

Ceramic proppant, also called hydraulic fracturing sand, oil fracturing proppant, ceramic sand, bauxite ceramic proppant, bauxite proppant, oil fracture proppant drilling proppant, high strength proppant, high-strength proppant, high conductivity proppant etc. Ceramic proppants are engineered to optimize conductivity in virtually any application. Using ceramic Proppants to provide high conductivity of oil and gas, to increase the oil and gas production output, as well as to extend the oil and gas wells' length of service.

With increased ROI, using Ceramic Proppants has huge economic benefit.

Ceramic Proppants are used in the process of hydraulic fracturing to increase oil and gas production. With increased ROI, using Ceramic Proppants has huge economic benefit. In the process of hydraulic fracturing, fluids with great pressures are pumped down a well to create fractures in the hydrocarbon-bearing rock formation. Proppants, a granular formed material is transported in the fluid to fill this fracture to keep the fracture "propping" open after high-pressure pumping stops. The fracture filled with ceramic proppants creates a permeable channel through which the hydrocarbons can flow more freely. Ceramic Proppants are used in both oil and gas wells' exploration of low-permeability fracturing and in the construction of deep well fracturing.

The hydraulic fracturing process solves this problem by generating fractures in the rock.

Some subsurface rock units such as organic shale contain large amounts of oil, natural gas or natural gas liquids that will not flow freely to a well. They will not flow to a well because the rock unit either lacks permeability(interconnected pore spaces) or the pore spaces in the rock are so small that these fluids can not flow through them.
The hydraulic fracturing process solves this problem by generating fractures in the rock. This is done by horizontal drilling a well into the rock, sealing the portion of the well in the petroleum-bearing zone, and pumping water under high pressure into that portion of the well. This water is generally treated with a chemicals and thickeners such as guar gum to create a viscous gel. This gel facilitates the water's ability to carry grains of frac sand in suspension.

Powdered bauxite proppant can be fused into tiny beads at very high temperatures.

Powdered bauxite proppant can be fused into tiny beads at very high temperatures. These beads have a very high crush resistance and that makes them suitable for use as a proppant. The specific gravity of the beads and their size can be matched to the viscosity of the hydraulic fracturing fluid and to the size of fractures that are expected to develop in the rock. Manufactured proppants provide a wide selection of grain size and specific gravity compared to a natural proppant known as frac sand. Frac sand is currently used instead of manufactured proppants because it has a cost and transportation advantage.

Resin coated silica sand is comprised of weathered quartz – the most common

Resin coated silica sand is comprised of weathered quartz – the most common, natural mineral in the Earth’s continental crust. Unlike common sand which feels gritty to the touch, silica sand feels smoother as a result of the round spherical shape of the individual sand grains and narrower particle-size distribution.
The quality of the sand proppants is dependent on the yield from the sand deposit and processing efficiency the manufacturer.
The 40/70 grade is commonly used for high volume slickwater fracturing of unconventional horizontal gas wells such as those in the Barnett, Fayettevile, Haynesville and Marcellus shales.
