Benefits
■■ Significant enhancement of proppant
pack conductivity for better
well performance
■■ Integrated flowback protection
■■ Provides stable proppant pack during life
of the well
■■ Improved proppant pack cleanup for
longer effective fracture length
■■ No significant operational modification Normalized well performance compared to reservoir quality.
The particle shape provides creation of a consolidated pack. This pack is highly resistant to the
driving forces that cause proppant flowback. Unlike resin-coated proppant (RCP), the S810 relies
on mechanical interference of the particles and not on chemical bonding, so it is chemically inert.
In addition, unlike any RCP, the S810 does not decrease the near wellbore conductivity. The S810
does not require special shut-in time or flowback considerations.
