During hydraulic fracturing treatment, huge quantities of gel are pumped into the formation to initiate the fracture, maintain it open and transport the proppant. The fracture dimensionless conductivity (Fcd) is a key parameter to optimize the fracturing design, to estimate the productivity Index (PI) and the folds of increase (FOI). However, …

The new proppant crush test approach was used to compare the strength of 40/70 sand, 40/70 resin coated sand, 30/50 sand, and 30/50 resin-coated sand. The failure stresses for the above proppants ...
17770 N. FM Road 874, Kermit, TX 79745. The Kermit, TX, site, home to two production facilities, provided the first in-basin frac sand in the Permian Basin. In-basin proppant can be trucked to the wellsite rather than transported by rail, significantly reducing costs and logistical complexities for our E&P and service company customers.
In one patent, Smith et al. (2008) used lightweight metal to create a hollow metallic shell proppant. It possesses a high crush strength of at least 3000 psi with a density ranging from 0.6 g/cc to 2.5 g/cc. The high crush resistance and ductility of metals or metals alloy, instead of collapsing, caused the proppant to partially deform under ...

The TrueCrush™ test is a new, patented testing procedure for determining the actual performance of a proppant used in hydraulic fracturing. In contrast to the API Crush …
N2 - Proppant crushing, a major proppant failure mechanism, occurs in geothermal energy and oil/gas stimulation production stages when the level of net stress exerted on the proppant exceeds the actual crush resistance of the material.
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Atlas Energy Solutions Inc. (NYSE: AESI) ("Atlas" or the "Company") today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Hi Crush Inc. ("Hi-Crush") to acquire all of Hi-Crush's Permian Basin proppant production assets and North American logistics operations in a transaction …
Last mile proppant logistics must address many variables, from proppant requirements such as mesh size and volume per stage; to road infrastructure, pad size, and even traffic congestion. The optimal solution depends on tailoring proppant logistics to the job with expertise, innovative equipment, and specialized software. Matching last mile logistics to …
proppant due to the potential for the 100 mesh to invade and occupy pore space. Schmidt et al. [13] investigated how different proppant sizes perform when mixing of different proppant sizes and tail-in mixing. They found that higher concentrations of more conductive proppant have a significant impact on propped fracture conductivity.

Moreover, the utilization of ceramic proppants (which retain proppant pack porosity up to 75%), larger proppant sizes (which retain proppant pack porosity up to 15.2%) and higher proppant concentrations (which retain proppant pack porosity up to 29.5%) in the fracturing stimulations with higher in-situ stresses are recommended to de-escalate ...
When the American Petroleum Institute (API) established standardized crush-testing procedures (API RP-56 1983), the committee indicated that the test results should "provide indications of the stress level where proppant crushing is excessive and the maximum stress to which the proppant material should be subjected."However, over …
Unlike the API crush test, the PT Crush Profile uses the entire proppant sample for crushing at each stress, the sample is then sieved to determine particle distribution, and MPD is then calculated. A change in MPD directly correlates to …
The proppant made out of glass microspheres is another type of micro-proppants that its size is in a range of 10 to 46 μ m. The core of these borosilicate glass spheres is hollow; therefore, they have less weight than water. Their crush strength is 10000 to 18000 psi and they are commercially accessible.
