The importance of quality proppant

The importance of quality proppant
In the success or failure of hydraulic fracturing fracturing effect, validity depends mainly on the quality of the  Proppant   The role of the proppant fracturing generated

hydraulic fractures filled, so that no re-closure, and having a high conductivity to form a flow channel. In the reservoir characteristics and fracture geometry under the same

conditions, fracturing wells yield and production dynamically depending on fracture conductivity. Crack fracture conductivity is conduction (transport) capacity reservoir fluid

and  Proppant  to fracture permeability layer (Kf) and fracture bracing slit width (Wf) of the product [KW] f to represent. Generally, frac proppant  type, physical properties (grain

size, strength, ball, roundness, density, etc.) and their distribution in fractures (laid concentration per unit area of ??a support crack dose), and crack closure stress is a

major controlling factor in fracture conductivity. Therefore, mastering the physical properties of the proppant fracture conductivity and impact of many factors conducive to a

rational choice of proppant, it is beneficial for the fracturing fluid and  Proppant  fracturing materials made ??more precise requirements.
