By altering the proppant pack surface to neutral wettability with RPM technology, you virtually eliminate capillary forces that prevent water and water-based fracturing fluids from becoming trapped, avoiding a reduction in hydrocarbon flow.
Watch to see how CARBO's RPM Technology - neutral wettability relative permeability modification technology- increases production by preventing trapped water based fluids reducing pressure droppes leading to increased EUR. CARBO's RPM Technology can be added to any CARBO Proppant.
Fractures built with proppant enhanced with RPM technology have been proven in field trials to deliver a significant increase in both oil and gas production, with a rapid payback on the investment in RPM technology.

For 70 years proppant technology has primarily consisted of uncoated frack sands, resin-coated proppant and ceramic proppant. These three tiers of proppant have served, and continue to serve, as the workhorse for propping open hydraulic fractures and have allowed for the successful development of many otherwise uneconomic reservoirs.

The development and testing of a new proppant designed to exhibit a neutrally wet surface that does not have a preferential affinity for oil, gas, or water and therefore will not promote the preferential entrapment of any phase within the proppant pack. JPT, March 2016
