Abstract:This study investigates a new type of high-performance coated sand as a petroleum fracturing proppant material. Modified quartz sand was coated with a layer of low-density resin to reduce the overall density of the proppant, thereby improving the suspension of the proppant in the fracturing fluid. Resins play an important role in the preparation of coated sand fracturing proppants. The mechanism of sand formation was studied by examining the phase composition and microstructure of the coated sand proppant. The… Show more
