Cost Efficiency

The strong and durable MAIDE ceramic proppant are proved to withstand longer in wells, so as generating less fines under closure stress. With Maide Ceramics ceramic proppant, investment will have a fast payback.And, more stimulation stages the wells are, or the more proppant are used, the lower the wellhead breakeven price will be. This results higher EUR and improved ROI for the investors, especially at this low oil price stages

Our engineering team have more than total 60 years’ expertise on producing Ceramic proppants. They take seriously on every single detail on production, from materials to sintering, from pelleting to calcination and sieving.Testing and verification are also proceeded following ISO/ API requests. This fulfills great petroleum proppant，The advantages of MAIDE ceramic proppant lie upon，It makes our proppant performing high from the carefully selected bauxite ore, low porosity pelleting and calcination temperature. Testing shows MAIDE ceramic proppant having better ISO/ API crushing rate, thus resulting better conductivity and permeability, which means higher productivity.

Proppants for hydraulic fracturing

hydraulic fracturing contributes tremendously to US’ shale revolution and its energy independence. To maintain fracture open for extracting oil and gas, proppant is indispensable.Ceramic proppant is man-made aluminum ball from bauxite, a natural mineral ore containing high alumina and silica, sized from 12 to 140 mesh (1.7 to 0.10 mm). It has much better crush rate, durability, Proppants for hydraulic fracturing Krumbein shape and other performance than quartz, or natural sand, as proppant

hydraulic fracturing

In the US, except for diesel-based additive fracturing fluids, noted by the American Environmental Protection Agency to have a higher proportion of volatile organic compounds and carcinogenic BTEX, use of hydraulic fracturing fluids in hydraulic fracturing operations was explicitly excluded from regulation under the American Clean Water Act in 2005, a legislative move that has since attracted controversy for being the product of special interests lobbying

Wells are hydraulically fractured in different stages.Tracers with different half-lives are used for each stage.Their half-lives range from 40.2 hours (lanthanum-140) to 5.27 years (cobalt-60).Amounts per injection of radionuclide are listed in The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission guidelines,The NRC guidelines also list a wide range or radioactive materials in solid, resin coated sand proppant liquid and gaseous forms that are used as field flood or enhanced oil and gas recovery study applications tracers used in single and multiple wells

Other components of fracturing fluids

Other than high crush proppants, slickwater fracturing fluids are mostly water, generally 99% or more by volume, but gel-based fluids can see polymers and surfactants comprising as much as 7 vol% , ignoring other additives.Other common additives include hydrochloric acid (low pH can etch certain rocks, dissolving limestone for instance), friction reducers, guar gum,biocides, emulsion breakers, emulsifiers, and 2-Butoxyethanol.Radioactive tracer isotopes are sometimes included in the hydrofracturing fluid to determine the injection profile and location of fractures created by hydraulic fracturing.ceramic proppants describe in detail how several tracers are typically used in the same well

Petroleum proppant also called oil fracturing proppants.

Petroleum proppant also called oil fracturing proppants. When oil and gas after deep mining, high closure pressure after fracturing low permeability deposit processing, the hydrocarbon formation split, passage of oil and gas from the cracks formed in the collection out of the fluid injected into the rock grassroots needs at this time, to exceed the formation fracture pressure strength, so that cracks the rock around the wellbore, Proppant into the formation along with the high-pressure solution filled in cracks in the rock, play a supporting fissures not because of stress release and closing action, thereby maintaining high conductivity, so that oil and gas flow, increase production.
