CARBOBOND KRYPTOSPHERE LD resin-coated low-density, ultra high-performance ceramic proppant
The higher-strength CARBOBOND KRYPTOSPHERE LD resin-coated low-density, ultra high-performance ceramic proppant is effective at greater well depths, temperatures and stresses than any comparable ceramic proppant. CARBOBOND KRYPTOSPHERE LD also requires 20% less proppant by weight than any resin-coated intermediate-density ceramic proppant and 30% less proppant than any resin-coated bauxite ceramic proppant. It is designed with high cyclic loading tolerance, and the bonded proppant pack reduces the effective stresses encountered at deeper depths.
Features
-
KRYPTOSPHERE LD provides an ultraconductive, low-density proppant as the substrate
-
Specially formulated for maximum compatibility with complicated frac fluids used in deeper wells
-
Bonded proppant pack reduces effective stress on proppant
-
High cyclic loading tolerance
-
Resin coating completely encapsulates substrate
-
Bonds in the fracture with temperature and closure
Benefits
-
Versatile—expands the usable application range (depth, temperature and stress) to replace intermediate-density and bauxite
-
No proppant flowback—eliminates subsequent equipment damage, expense of cleanouts and disposal
-
Maintains conductivity—resin coating prevents fines from being released
-
Maintains particle integrity—prevents chemical attack on substrate
-
No additional chemical costs—since no fluid chemistry change is required, the job can be pumped as designed
