Fracturing proppant is a ceramic particle product with high fracturing strength. It is mainly used for downhole support in oil fields to increase the production of oil and natural gas. This product is made of high-quality bauxite and other raw materials and sintered with ceramics. It is a substitute for low- and medium-strength proppants such as natural quartz sand, glass balls, and metal balls. It has a good effect on increasing oil and gas production. When oil and natural gas are exploited in deep wells, the high-closure pressure and low-permeability deposits are fractured, and the oil and gas-bearing rock formations are cracked, and oil and gas are collected from the channels formed by the cracks. The ceramsite support material enters the formation along with the high-pressure solution to fill in the cracks of the rock formation, which plays the role of supporting the cracks not to be closed due to stress release, thereby maintaining high conductivity, allowing oil and gas to flow, and increasing production. Practice has proved that oil wells fractured with ceramsite proppant can increase production by 30-50% and extend the service life of oil and gas wells.
Fracturing proppant can be widely used in deep well, high pressure oil and gas formation fracturing reformation. Using high-quality bauxite as the main raw material, it is crushed and finely ground into fine powder, mixed with various additives, repeatedly mixed, granulated, and polished. Sintered at high temperature, the product has the advantages of high compressive strength, low density, good sphericity, high smoothness, and strong flow conductivity. After testing by the evaluation laboratory supported by the Langfang Branch of the PetroChina Exploration and Development Research Institute, all performance indicators have fully reached the SY/T5108-2006 and SY/T6302-1997 standards, which are at the leading level.
The advantages of using ton bags to pack fracturing proppants are that they have the characteristics of large volume, light weight, and easy loading and unloading. It is one of the common packaging materials. It is characterized by simple structure, light weight, foldable, small space occupied by emptying, and low price.
