Second only t o fracturing fluid, proppants play a major role in the hydraulic fracturin g process. \; In 2014 alone, roughly 114 billion pounds of raw sand pr oppant was pumped in the United States. \; The trend shows that proppa nt production and usage is on the rise and will continue to play an import ant role in the future fracturing process.
Where does natural sand proppant come from?
The mining process is the key to quality, natur al product. \; Ensuring that everything from the planning stage to dry ing and sizing is done correctly is critical to the performance of the pro ppant. \;
So, can any type of sand be called a proppant? \;
Some engineers have the perception that all proppants are created equal and can produce the same results. \; The truth is though, no two proppants are alike. \; Each formation that the proppant is produced from has different properties that can either aid or impair a well&rsquo\; s production.
If no two proppants are alike, how can you compare on e to another? \;
There are specific questions you should ask yo ur proppant supplier to help you establish a baseline comparison of produc ts from one to another. \; We will discuss this and what the answers c an mean for your well&rsquo\;s production.
