Types of Petroleum Fracturing Proppant
Oil Proppant
The production process of petroleum fracturing proppant includes crushing, batching, grinding, pelletizing, calcination, pulverized coal preparation, finished product cooling, screening and packaging. Among them, the main raw material is high-grade bauxite.
Hydraulic Fracturing Proppant
Petroleum fracturing proppant enters the formation along with the high-pressure solution and fills the cracks in the rock formation to support the cracks from closing due to stress release, thereby maintaining high conductivity, allowing oil and gas to flow smoothly, and increasing production.
Fracking Proppant
Proppant with low crushing rate over a wide pressure range. Provide high fracture conductivity for deep oil and gas wells. The volume density is moderate. It is especially suitable for oil and gas wells with medium and low permeability.
Ceramsite Sand
Provide high fracture conductivity and working life for deep oil and gas wells. High bulk density. It is suitable for deep well and high pressure reservoir fracturing.
High Strength PProppant
Petroleum fracturing proppant is an important material used in the oil and gas extraction process. Its main function is to support artificial fractures during the hydraulic fracturing process to increase the production of oil and gas wells.
Sand Proppants
The main component of petroleum fracturing proppant is ceramic particles, which have high compressive strength and wear resistance and can withstand the strong pressure and friction during injection. In addition, petroleum fracturing proppant also has a low relative density, making it easy to pump downholes.
Advantages of Petroleum Fracturing Proppant
Durability and Strength
Ceramic proppant is known for its exceptional durability and strength, making it an ideal choice for hydraulic fracturing operations. Unlike other proppants such as sand or resin-coated sands, ceramic proppant can withstand the tremendous stress and pressure exerted during fracking. This high strength ensures that the fractures created in the rock formation remain open, allowing for the efficient flow of oil or gas into the wellbore. By using ceramic proppant, operators can achieve longer-lasting and more productive wells.
High Conductivity
Another significant advantage of ceramic proppant is its high conductivity. The spherical shape and smooth surface of ceramic particles allow for better flow and reduced drag within the fractures. This leads to improved well productivity and higher extraction rates. Ceramic proppant's excellent conductivity ensures that oil or gas can flow freely through the fractures and reach the wellbore, resulting in increased overall production. Additionally, the high conductivity of ceramic proppant reduces the risk of formation damage, maximizing the lifespan of the well.
Chemical Resistance
Ceramic proppant also offers superior chemical resistance compared to other proppants. This resistance ensures that the proppant remains stable and does not degrade when exposed to various chemicals present in the formation fluids. The chemical resistance of ceramic proppant is particularly essential in wells where corrosion or acid treatments are required to enhance production. By using ceramic proppant, operators can minimize the risk of proppant degradation, ensuring a longer-lasting and more productive well.
Size Consistency
The size consistency of ceramic proppant particles is another crucial factor that contributes to its effectiveness in maximizing well productivity. Unlike other proppants that may vary in size and shape, ceramic proppant offers a higher degree of uniformity. This consistency allows for a more predictable flow of oil or gas within the fractures, optimizing production rates. Additionally, the size consistency of ceramic proppant ensures that the fractures are evenly supported and prevents the formation of channels that can impede fluid flow.
Frac Sand and Proppant Size and Shape
Hydraulic fracturing is used in the oil and gas industry to increase the flow of oil and/or gas from a well. The producing formation is fractured open using hydraulic pressure and then proppants (propping agents) are pumped into the oil well with fracturing fluid to hold the fissures open so that the natural gas or crude oil can flow up the well. The proppant size, shape, and mechanical strength influences the integrity of the newly created fractures, and therefore the flow of oil and gas out of the well.
Size
The size range of the proppant is very important. Typical proppant sizes are generally between 8 and 140 mesh (106 µm - 2.36 mm), for example 16-30 mesh (600 µm - 1180 µm), 20-40 mesh (420 µm - 840 µm), 30-50 mesh (300 µm - 600 µm), 40-70 mesh (212 µm - 420 µm) or 70-140 mesh (106 µm - 212 µm). When describing frac sand, the product is frequently referred to as simply the sieve cut, i.e. 20/40 sand.
Shape
The shape of the proppant is important because shape and size influence the final permeability through the fracture. A wide range of particle sizes and shapes will lead to a tight packing arrangement, reducing permeability/conductivity. A controlled range of sizes and preferential spherical shape will lead to greater conductivity.
By integrating these other materials into the proppant we are able to vary some key properties:
Size - The physical size of the proppant needs to be adjustable per the condition of the rock. Typically measured between 8 and 140 mesh (106 µm - 2.36 mm).
Geometry - In some cases the shape of the proppant needs to be adjusted.
Weight - Largely depending on the depth of the frac the density of the proppant will need to be adjusted.
By adjusting these properties we can create the optimum pathways for the extraction of hydrocarbons. Some important measured qualities of proppant are:
Conductivity - Basically the amount of flow that the proppant will allow.
Crush Resistance - Deeper wells and varied lithologies require different stress properties.
Acid Solubility - Tests of solubility in acid can indicate contaminants, and let you know how the proppant is likely to perform underground.
The Production Process of Petroleum Fracturing Proppant
Crushing. The size of bauxite from mine is around 300~500mm, low moisture, After two-stage crushing which is composed by Jaw crusher and hammer crusher, the size of bauxite will be around 25mm.
Dosing. Bauxite, manganese powder, and other additional material will be transferred to belt conveyor through belt weigher to make sure the suitable proportion .If the moisture of bauxite or other material is more than 6% need to be drying at first .
Grinding. In grinding process, the main equipment is ball mill and separator to make a close-circuit grinding system .The granulator required the material size will be lower than 300mesh.
Granulator. Raw material powder after grinding stored in hoppers .generally there have 2-3 hoppers, it can be discharged separately, also can be discharged with many hoppers collocation. Raw material powder will be transfer into a small silo, the silo has screw metering device or belt weigher .The material will be conveying to granulator, meanwhile the water will be spraying to granulator by pipeline pump. When granulator rotating, the raw material can be made into various particle size Raw ceramic sand will be transported to rotary sceen by belt conveyor, qualified sand will be calcined in rotary kiln, and the oversize will returns to raw material grinding process. The granulator system is totally automatic, continuously, matching with bag-type dust collector, can purification the exhaust air.
Calcining. Raw ceramic sand be calcined in rotary kiln , with the revolution and slope of rotary kiln, calcined ceramic sand move toward to the kiln head, meanwhile, pulverized coal spray into the kiln burner from kiln head, raw ceramic sand will be calcined into ceramic sand with high intensity in the rotary kiln.
Pulverized coal preparation. Pulverized coal preparation use ball mill or vertical mill, which can drying the coal with hot wind from kiln hoodsl. Use separator can adjust the fineness of pulverized coal at will; it provides sufficient conditions for full burning of pulverized coal.
Fineshed product cooling. The cooling of ceramic sand genergally use rotary cooler, it is simple and reliable when working, secondary air of cooler absolutely enter to the kiln, multi-channel burner, can save a lot of energy. The temperature of ceramic sand after cooler is very low, can be touched by hand.
