The result is a ceramic proppant with excellent transport characteristics that travels farther into the fracture network to increase the Propped Reservoir Volumeā¢ (PRV). The transport characteristics of KRYPTOAIR technology enable the use of lower fluid viscosity and pump rates in gravel pack applications. This allows efficient proppant placement and the full packing of the annular space in open- and cased-hole gravel packs while avoiding fracturing the formation.
