Get PriceThe higher the crush resistance is, the better the proppants are. Density is important for proppant selection, as it affects proppant transport. Proppant density comes with both bulk density and absolute density. The difference between the bulk and absolute densities results from the void spaces present in proppant packs. Typical porosity ...

Get PriceOct 11, 2016 · Proppant permeability is a measure of how readily or not fluid (hydrocarbons in general) can travel through the proppant pack, and is a measure of "fluid friction" within the proppant pack. Baseline conductivity is the most widely used test to compare performance of proppants. It is calculated by multiplying the proppant permeability with ...

Get PriceProppant Transport Technology. Propel SSP ® proppant transport technology is a step change in the decades-old challenge of evenly distributing proppant throughout the full length of a created hydraulic fracture. The technology props open the fracture from wellbore to tip, maximizing the fracture surface area to increase hydrocarbon production.

Get PriceThe American Petroleum Institute (API) crush tests for proppants found in recommended practices (e.g. RP 56, 58, & 60) are typically used to compare the crush resistance of recognized API proppant sizes at a predetermined stress under dry and ambient conditions (API, 1995).
[PDF]Get PriceOct 13, 2015 · No matter the type, proppant is designed to remain in place over the life of a well. The ideal proppant is flowable to allow it to move deep into the fissures and strong enough to keep the fissures propped open without fracturing the grain. Proppant is often specified by its strength, known as crush resistance or crush strength.

[0087] Figure 9 is a graph comparing the crush strengths of a number of proppants according to the invention with bauxite and sand at 8000 psi. "Crush fines %" indicates the percentage of the volume of proppant that is crushed to fines. The graph shows that certain proppants have a greater crush strength and thus produce less fines.

Get PriceA proppant is a solid material, typically sand, treated sand or man-made ceramic materials, designed to keep an induced hydraulic fracture open, during or following a fracturing treatment. It is added to a fracking fluid which may vary in composition depending on the type of fracturing used, and can be gel, foam or slickwater–based. In addition, there may be unconventional fracking fluids.
