Proppant Flowback Control Technology

Increase Your Production Rates Through Highly Conductive Flow Paths

PropNET technology employs aggressive cleanup alternatives. This provides faster well turnaround (lower flowback costs) and reduced time to commercial production. Proppant pack cleanup is more effective, increasing your production rates through a more highly conductive flow path.

Allows postfracture flowback design changes, increasing operational flexibility

PropNET additives provide a unique, economical solution that prevents flowback from hydraulic fractures in any reservoir environment. This technology helps avoid damage to surface equipment and loss of near-wellbore conductivity caused by proppant flowback. Additives used in severe environments yield high proppant pack strength and conductivity.

Significantly improves resistance of proppant packs to closure stress cycling

Testing confirms that PropNET additives can significantly increase conductivity of base proppant at low closure stresses. The presence of fiber disrupts the close-order packing of the proppant, promoting higher porosity and permeability.
