10K psi Lightweight Ceramic Proppant For Shale Oil Reservoirs

SEPPE 10K psi Lightweight Ceramic Proppant is designed for shale oil reservoirs and horizontal well fracturing where efficient transport, lower settling rate, and stable fracture conductivity are required. With a 10,000 psi strength target, approximately equivalent to 69 MPa closure stress, and LWP 30/50 mesh positioning, this lightweight ceramic proppant is suitable for slickwater fracturing and shale oil reservoir stimulation where conventional sand may lose conductivity under higher closure stress.

What Is 10K psi Lightweight Ceramic Proppant?

▸ 10K psi lightweight ceramic proppant is a ceramic proppant grade designed to keep hydraulic fractures open in shale oil reservoirs after fracturing pressure is released.

▸ The product combines lower density for improved proppant transport with ceramic crush resistance for better conductivity retention compared with conventional sand under suitable closure stress conditions.

▸ It is especially suitable for horizontal shale oil wells, slickwater fracturing, and low-viscosity carrier fluid systems where LWP 30/50 proppant placement efficiency directly affects stimulated reservoir volume.

Key Performance Characteristics

10K psi Strength Target: Designed for shale oil fracturing applications requiring reliable crush resistance and conductivity support; 10,000 psi is approximately equivalent to 69 MPa closure stress.

Lightweight Transport: Lower density helps reduce settling and improve proppant distribution in long horizontal sections.

Slickwater Compatibility: Suitable for high-rate slickwater fracturing and low-viscosity carrier fluids where suspension is challenging.

Conductivity Retention: Ceramic structure helps maintain fracture flow channels better than ordinary sand under appropriate closure stress.

Shale Oil Reservoir Focus: Optimized for shale oil stimulation, horizontal wells, and unconventional reservoir development projects.

Typical Applications

▸ Shale oil reservoir hydraulic fracturing

▸ Horizontal wells with long lateral sections

▸ Slickwater fracturing and high pump-rate operations

▸ Moderate closure stress reservoirs requiring improved conductivity

▸ Projects where lower settling and longer propped fracture length are required
