CARBOLITE
-
1. What is CARBOLITE?
CARBOLITE is a high-performance, low-density ceramic proppant designed to enhance production in oil and gas wells, particularly those at moderate depths. It offers superior conductivity and flow capacity compared to traditional sand-based proppants.
-
2. How does CARBOLITE improve well performance?
CARBOLITE delivers high fracture conductivity, allowing better flow of hydrocarbons. This can result in up to 50% higher production, as shown in field applications like the North Sea, where it outperformed sand-based treatments.
-
3. In what sizes is CARBOLITE available?
It is available in five closely sieved sizes: 12/18, 16/20, 20/40, 30/50, and 40/70, providing versatility for different well conditions and fracture designs.
-
4. What are the advantages of using CARBOLITE over sand?
CARBOLITE provides higher conductivity, lower flowback risks, and better hydraulic fracture performance with fewer logistical demands. Additionally, it requires lower proppant volumes, reducing costs and on-site challenges.
-
5. Is CARBOLITE compatible with various frac fluids?
Yes, CARBOLITE is formulated to work effectively with complex frac fluids without requiring significant chemical adjustments, allowing operators to maintain their planned treatment schedules.
-
6. Can CARBOLITE handle high closure stress environments?
Although designed for moderate-depth wells, CARBOLITE also performs well under cyclic loading and retains its integrity even under considerable stress, ensuring reliable long-term conductivity.
