Low Density Ceramic Proppant
Low-density ceramic proppants are often preferred in situations where high closure stresses are not anticipated, or where reservoir conditions may not require heavy proppant loading.
While they offer lower crush resistance compared to medium and high-density proppants, they are still effective in maintaining fracture conductivity.
A lightweight ceramic proppant is a type of material used in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) operations within the oil and gas industry. It is designed to keep the fractures open after the fracturing process by providing support to the newly created fissures in the rock formation.
