    Is your hydraulic fracturing operation delivering maximum flow? The right proppants are essential for keeping fractures open and ensuring production continues to flow. Fracturing proppants are solid, granular materials—such as sand or engineered ceramics—used to prop open the fractures created during hydraulic fracturing, which ensures long-term conductivity.

    Sunita Hydrocolloids Inc. helps you improve hydrocarbon recovery, reduce the risk of formation damage, and enhance overall well productivity with a range of high-quality fracturing proppants tailored to your specific operational needs.

    Why Proppants Are Critical for Hydraulic Fracturing Success

    The selection and performance of hydraulic fracturing proppants directly impact the efficiency and economic return of your well. Understanding their role and the risks associated with inadequate materials is key to optimizing your operations.

    The Role of Proppants in Maintaining Fracture Conductivity

    Proppants are designed to prevent fractures from closing under immense reservoir pressure, creating durable channels that enable sustained hydrocarbon flow. The proper selection of proppant type, size, and strength directly influences the fracture’s final permeability, which in turn dictates well productivity and the estimated ultimate recovery (EUR).

    Effective sand control is also a vital function, as the uncontrolled production of formation sand can damage surface equipment, cause blockages, and reduce operational efficiency.

    Risks of Using Inadequate Proppants

    Using proppants of poor quality or incorrect sizing can lead to significant operational and financial setbacks. Key risks include:

    • Crushing and Fines Generation: Lower-strength proppants can shatter under high closure stress, creating fine particles that clog the fracture and restrict flow.
    • Embedment: In softer rock formations, proppant grains can be pressed into the fracture walls, reducing the effective width of the flow channel.
    • Formation Damage: The migration of fines and other issues can cause irreversible damage to the formation, leading to increased operational costs and downtime.
    • Production Decline: Suboptimal proppant performance can cause premature production decline, requiring costly well interventions to restore flow.

    Choosing the right proppants is essential to maximizing your well’s economic return and avoiding these costly issues.

    Applications of Fracturing Proppants for Enhanced Well Performance

    Sunita Hydrocolloids offers a diverse portfolio of fracturing proppants and sand control solutions designed to meet the specific demands of any reservoir. Our tailored solutions ensure optimal performance across a wide range of applications.

    • Conventional Sand Proppants: As the most widely used proppant, natural frac sand offers a cost-effective solution for many conventional reservoir types.
    • Resin-Coated and Ceramic Proppants: For deep, high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) wells, resin-coated and ceramic proppants provide superior strength and conductivity. These engineered solutions are designed to withstand extreme downhole conditions where conventional sands may fail.
    • Sand Control Solutions: Our proppants, particularly curable resin-coated varieties, are engineered to prevent the flowback of formation sand, protecting your wellbore integrity and surface equipment.
    • Tailored Proppant Blends: We specialize in developing tailored proppant blends designed to match specific reservoir conditions and fracturing fluid systems, ensuring you get the right solution for every well.
