Description

Prime Plus Product Photo

Prime Plus™ proppants are an advanced, curable resin coated sand available in 16/30, 20/40, 30/50, and 40/70 mesh sizes. These proppants are designed for use in the major basins of North America where premium performance is required. They have a proven track record of delivering the industry's highest performing curable resin coated sand conductivity, resulting in improved well performance.

Typical Applications

Fracture treatments:

At closure stress up to:

  • 10,000 psi [69 MPa] (16/30 and 20/40)
  • 12,000 psi [83 MPa] (30/50 and 40/70)

At bottom-hole static temperatures* from:

  • 130 - 450°F [54 - 232°C] (16/30 and 20/40)
  • 110 - 450°F [43 - 232°C] (30/50 and 40/70)

*Does not require a low temperature consolidation aid down to recommended temperatures.

Technical Advantages and Benefits

  • High conductivity
  • Proppant flowback control
  • Proppant fines reduction
  • Cyclic stress resistance
  • Minimizes proppant embedment
  • Reduces respirable silica dust exposure below PEL limits
