Ultra-lightweight proppant is preferred in some applications since it reduces proppant settling, requires low fluid viscosity to transport and allows for increased propped length.

Proppant is a gritty material with uniformly sized particles that is mixed in with fracturing fluid during the hydraulic fracturing (fracking) process to hold open fractures made in the ground. Proppants come in a variety of different sizes and spherical shapes for a variety of different situations.

Ceramic proppants are ceramic particles which have characteristic of high-intensity.It is an eco-friendly fracturing support agent used in the hydraulic fracturing of natural gas and oil wells.Ceramic proppants are made by ceramic sintering of mixture of quality bauxite, coal and other raw materials.

Proppants are materials that are deposited in the fractures that are generated by hydraulic fracturing operations. Aside from the fractures themselves, proppants can be considered the most important well stimulation material

Acid solubility is another important feature. Given other materials used in frac fluids it tends to be acidic.
