Saint-Gobain Proppants - Versaprop® Greater strength, conductivity and productivity
Increased Strength
Versaprop® is made from an intermediate-strength ceramic ore that is stronger than similarly priced economic
lightweight ceramics (ELWC). Strength is crucial to the performance of any proppant, enabling it to maintain optimum
conductivity and permeability
despite the tremendous stress of the well environment.
Greater Conductivity
As stress increases, ceramic proppants are crushed into pieces. Smaller pieces mean reduced median particle diameter (MPD)
within the proppant pack. Versaprop® maintains its large size and higher MPD - the key factors in determining conductivity.
Enhanced Productivity
Versaprop® delivers higher conductivity per dollar than any other ceramic proppant over a wide range of stresses,
which means increased productivity from oil and natural gas wells and higher returns on investment for production companies.
