US-based proppants producer Carbo Ceramics Inc. has introduced a new proppant grade, designed to maximise and sustain hydrocarbon flow at high closure stresses for the life of a hydraulic fracturing (fracking) well.
Named Kryptosphere, the proppant solution has been developed in response to a request from a major drilling operator working in the Gulf of Mexico.
According to Carbo, Kryptosphere is able to deliver more than twice the baseline conductivity of the more widely used bauxite-based, high strength ceramic proppants available on the market and is able to work at 20,000 psi closure stresses, making it an ideal solution for deeper wells.
“Kryptosphere will significantly improve overall fracture conductivity or space to flow, resulting in more production, increased recoverable reserves and greater returns for the operator,” the company’s vice president of marketing and sales, Don Conkle, explained.
