Research Summary
Proppants are small, solid particles, typically sand or ceramic materials, used in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) operations within the oil and gas industry. During hydraulic fracturing, proppants are mixed with fluid and injected into a wellbore at high pressure to create fractures in the rock formations, enabling the extraction of hydrocarbons such as oil and natural gas. The proppants remain in the fractures, preventing them from closing once the pressure is relieved. This helps to maintain permeability, allowing the extracted fluids to flow more freely to the wellbore. The choice of proppants depends on factors such as the depth of the well, reservoir conditions, and the specific characteristics of the geological formation being fractured. Proppants play a crucial role in maximizing the efficiency of hydraulic fracturing processes, ultimately enhancing the production of oil and gas from unconventional reservoirs.
