SEPPE Lightweight Proppant is a low-density ceramic proppant designed for hydraulic fracturing applications where efficient transport, controlled particle size, crush resistance, and stable fracture conductivity are required. This lightweight grade is supplied under the SEPLITE LWP series and is suitable for projects requiring a ceramic alternative with lower density than intermediate-density or high-strength proppants.
▸ Lightweight Proppant is a lower-density ceramic proppant used to support fractures after hydraulic fracturing pressure is released.
▸ The product combines ceramic crush resistance with lower apparent and bulk density, helping improve proppant transport and placement compared with heavier ceramic grades.
▸ SEPPE Lightweight Proppant is designed for projects that require controlled mesh distribution, high sphericity and roundness, conductivity support, and lower-density ceramic performance.
▸ Low-Density Ceramic Design: Apparent density is approx. 2.70 g/cm³, absolute density is approx. 2.80 g/cm³, and bulk density is approx. 1.53 g/cm³.
▸ Controlled Shape Quality: Typical sphericity and roundness are 0.9 × 0.9 by Krumbein and Sloss methods, supporting stable proppant packing and fracture flow capacity.
▸ Crush Resistance: Crush-test data are available at 7,500 psi and 10,000 psi across common mesh sizes, supporting technical selection for moderate closure-stress applications.
▸ Conductivity & Permeability: Conductivity and permeability data are available across 16/30, 20/40, 30/50 and 40/70 sizes under different closure pressure points.
▸ Export Packaging: Standard packing is 1.5 MT polypropylene bags, with packaging and shipment arrangements available according to order requirements.
