Testing Method for True Density of Ceramic Fracturing Proppants
Fracturing proppants, also known as ceramic particles or ceramic sand, are sintered from high-quality bauxite and other raw materials. These proppants are widely used in deep-well and high-pressure oil/gas reservoir fracturing operations.
During deep oil and gas well extraction, hydraulic fracturing is applied to low-permeability reservoirs under high closure pressure. This process fractures the hydrocarbon-bearing rock layers, creating channels for oil and gas flow. Proppants are injected with high-pressure fluid into fractures to prevent closure under stress, maintaining high conductivity and enhancing production. Field data demonstrates that ceramic proppants can increase well productivity and extend operational lifespan.
