CARBOBOND LITE
The higher-strength CARBOBOND LITE resin-coated low-density, high-performance ceramic proppant is effective at greater well depths, temperatures and stresses than any comparable premium lightweight ceramic proppant. CARBOBOND LITE also requires 17% less proppant by weight than any resin-coated intermediate-density ceramic proppant. CARBOBOND LITE is designed with high cyclic loading tolerance, while the bonded proppant pack reduces the effective stresses encountered at deeper depths
Benefits
Why Choose
CARBOBOND LITE
-

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about
CARBOBOND LITE
-
What is CARBOBOND® LITE used for?
CARBOBOND LITE is a lightweight resin-coated ceramic proppant designed to enhance fracture conductivity and minimize proppant flowback.
-
How does the resin coating improve performance?
The resin coating bonds the proppant grains, stabilizing the pack and preventing displacement during production.
-
What type of reservoirs benefit most from CARBOBOND LITE?
It is ideal for low-pressure and unconsolidated reservoirs where lightweight, stable proppants are needed.
-
How does it compare to uncoated proppants?
CARBOBOND LITE provides greater stability and flowback control, improving well performance and reducing maintenance.
-
Is it environmentally safe?
Yes, CARBOBOND LITE is chemically inert and designed for safe, sustainable use.
-
Is it compatible with different fracturing fluids?
Yes, it works with a variety of fracturing fluids, ensuring flexible operations.
-
Can it reduce operational costs?
Yes, its durability and flowback control reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
