Shale oil and gas development into a hot spot, ceramic proppant prospects

Shale oil and gas development into a hot spot,  Ceramic proppant  prospects     With the development of petroleum, shale oil and gas development in the United States successfully triggered a global boom in shale oil and gas resources exploitation in recent years, China's ceramic proppant manufactured good support for its ability to gradually replace the conventional sand proppant to enter the U.S. market. So far, the Chinese-made ceramic proppant has occupied the entire North American  ceramic proppant  market share of 13%, with an average annual business volume of 30 billion U.S. dollars.

Shale oil and gas development is inseparable from the application of hydraulic fracturing, and hydraulic fracturing technology is one of the most important materials proppant.

The purpose of the Proppant  is to use high-pressure water pressure to open the gas layer, prop open the fracture pressure to allow gas flow. Ceramic proppant market demand is more broad, ceramic proppant market prospects.
    Ceramic proppant production inputs small, but highly profitable, Chinese proppant manufacturer offers the advantages of cheap local bauxite, bauxite is an important raw material of ceramic production. Ceramic  Proppant  with drilling companies need to have: a uniform size, chemical stability, high temperature high pressure, combined with good compatibility with sand, flowback easy and so on. Oil and gas 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. Alumina 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 aluminum proppant fracturing wells can increase production by 30-50%, but also to extend the service life of oil and gas wells, oil and natural gas wells in low permeability oil and gas exploration, construction of key materials. Products used in the construction of deep well fracturing, be filled to the low  permeability fractured rock deposits, make high closed fracturing treatment, the oil and gas formations split, play a supporting fissure is closed due to stress release, thereby maintaining oil and gas High flow capacity, not only to increase oil and gas production, but more prolonged service life of oil and gas wells.
