Operators can choose from a wide range of proppants

Operators can choose from a wide range of proppants—ultrahigh performance for the most severe conditions to frac sand—for their completions.Often, we’re asked if there’s a measurable performance difference between resin-coated proppant and resin coated frac sand, especially where closure stress conditions are in the intermediate range between 4,000 psi and 8,000 psi.
During the 60 years since our company was founded, we have documented that resin-coated proppant offers superior performance and increased well net present value in these conditions. Resin coatings, which are continuously quality controlled and tested, are the optimal approach to managing the forces that can reduce
short-term and long-term hydrocarbon production.
