Saint-Gobain Proppants - Ultraprop® Sintered Bauxite Engineered to deliver superior conductivity and value
Innovation Median particle diameter
(MPD) is the single most significant factor influencing conductivity. Saint-Gobain Proppants
engineered Ultraprop® Sintered Bauxite ceramic proppants with a slightly larger MPD. This approach allows
for a broader sieve distribution and increased efficiency in the manufacturing process, producing a product with superior
conductivity at a very competitive cost.
Value
Ultraprop® Sintered Bauxite delivers more conductivity and permeability
per dollar than competing high-strength products, which can translate to reduced fracturing treatment costs.
Size
Ultraprop® Sintered Bauxite is not a standard API sieve distribution. Its MPD is slightly larger than
other 20/40 high strength proppants (the reason for its increased conductivity), but Ultraprop® Sintered
Bauxite is nearly 30 percent smaller than 16/30 proppant products.
