What is a ceramic proppant / ceramic sand

ceramic proppant also called ceramic sand, is a ceramic particulate products, is fracturing ceramic products. Ceramic proppant fracturing has high strength, mainly used for oil well supported in order to increase oil and gas production, and environmental pollution, an environmentally friendly product. Ceramic sand and other materials using high bauxite, sintered ceramics, natural silica sand, glass beads, metal balls, low intensity  Proppant  substitute for oil and gas production and significantly good results.

Oil and natural gas in deep mining, the high closure pressure low permeability deposits by  fracturing  treatment, the rock cracked hydrocarbon, oil and gas from the cracks formed in the channel pooling out. Ceramic support material with a solution into the formation along with the high-pressure filling fissures in the rock, play a supporting fissure is closed not because of the role of stress release, thereby maintaining high conductivity, so that gas flow, increase production.

Practice has proved that using  Ceramic proppant  fracturing wells can increase production by 30-50%, but also to extend the service life of oil and gas wells. Over the years, ceramic sand is widely used in deep, high pressure oil layer fracturing. Use, ceramic sand and fracturing fluid mixing, by high pressure pump into the underground fracturing layer cracks play a supporting role, so that it no longer re-closed, forming a high conductivity and gas channels, to increase production.
