Ceramic proppant is one of the key components in the fracturing process of oil and gas wells.The introduction of proppants to the process of hydraulic fracturing has brought about increased hydrocarbon production rates and recovery.Proppants prevent fracture closure by keeping the hydraulically created fractures propped open with a high conductivity medium,and allow for an increased fracture flow capacity.Technical and chemical characteristics of proppants dramatically influence their efficiency in hydraulic fracturing.Having the correct location specific proppant can make a significant difference on a well’s production rate and life,and profitability, and for this reason it is imperative to utilize the appropriate product.
