What Is Ceramic Proppant?

▸ Ceramic proppant is a manufactured proppant used in hydraulic fracturing to keep fractures open after pumping pressure is released.

▸ Compared with conventional sand, ceramic proppant is engineered for controlled particle size distribution, higher sphericity and roundness, stronger crush resistance and conductivity retention under suitable closure stress conditions.

▸ SEPPE provides ceramic proppant grades from lightweight to high strength so customers can select products according to reservoir pressure, well depth, mesh size, pumping design, conductivity requirement and purchase specification.

Key Performance Characteristics

Multiple Density Classes: SEPPE supplies lightweight, intermediate-density and high strength ceramic proppants for different closure stress and completion designs.

Controlled Particle Shape: Typical sphericity and roundness are 0.9 × 0.9 by Krumbein and Sloss methods, supporting stable proppant packing and flow capacity.

Crush Resistance: Crush-test data are available by product grade, mesh size and closure stress to support technical selection.

Conductivity & Permeability: Conductivity and permeability data can be reviewed across common mesh sizes and closure pressure points.

Export Packaging: Standard packing is 1.5 MT polypropylene bags, with packaging and shipment arrangements available according to order requirements.

Typical Applications

▸ Hydraulic fracturing projects requiring engineered ceramic proppant instead of conventional sand

▸ Oil and gas reservoirs with different closure pressure, well depth and conductivity requirements

▸ Vertical wells and high-pressure applications requiring stronger crush resistance

▸ Projects requiring 16/30, 20/40, 30/50 or 40/70 proppant size selection

▸ Applications where crush resistance, particle shape and conductivity retention are key selection factors

Technical Selection Guide
