FUSION

Self-supported, highly permeable proppant pack technology for effective sand control and proppant flow back prevention at extreme conditions.

FUSION is a two-component proprietary system that leverages the combination of a resin coating applied to a ceramic proppant substrate with a bond activator pumped with the carrier fluid. The Coating chemically reacts with the Activator to form a high-integrity resilient pack in an ample temperature range from ambient to >600°F without the need of confining stress applied to it during the curing process. These characteristics make FUSION particularly suitable for primary and remedial sand control applications as well as proppant flowback prevention in high-rate production or injection wells.

BENEFITS

Why Choose FUSION

  • 1

    Versatile Across Depth, Temperature, and Stress

    FUSION expands the usable application range by functioning effectively without the need for closure stress or elevated temperature. This versatility ensures a strong, bonded annular pack even in shallow or non-traditional wellbore conditions.

  • 2

    Eliminates Proppant Flowback

    By forming a bonded structure, FUSION prevents proppant migration or washout, which is especially important in low-stress environments where loose materials can easily dislodge. This reduces the risk of equipment damage, cleanout costs, and operational downtime.

  • 3

    Maintains Conductivity and Pack Integrity

    The resin coating minimizes the generation of fines and protects against chemical degradation, helping maintain both conductivity and mechanical integrity over time. This ensures consistent performance even in chemically reactive or unstable annular conditions.

  • 4

    Effective Sand Control

    FUSION forms a bonded structure that locks particles in place, effectively preventing sand flowback into the wellbore. This reduces the risk of screen outs, production interruptions, and costly cleanouts—ensuring smoother, longer-lasting well performance.

FEATURES

Advanced Attributes of FUSION

  • Bonds Without Closure Stress or Elevated Temperature

    FUSION is designed to bond in the fracture or annulus without relying on external closure stress or high temperature. This makes it especially effective in low compressive environments, where traditional proppants may not consolidate or remain in place.

  • High Cyclic Loading Tolerance

    The material can withstand repeated stress cycles without breaking down, ensuring long-term stability of the annular pack. This resilience is critical in applications where pressure fluctuations could otherwise degrade the pack’s integrity.

  • Resin-Coated for Complete Substrate Encapsulation

    The proprietary phenolic resin coating fully encapsulates the ceramic substrate, protecting it from chemical attack and preventing fines generation. This enhances pack stability and conductivity, especially in chemically aggressive or low-stress zones.
