Prevent proppant pack flowback from hydraulic fractures in any environment—even with aggressive cleanup

PropNET proppant flowback control technology maintains proppant pack integrity and conductivity after hydraulic fracturing in any reservoir environment. This enables aggressive cleanup, faster well turnaround, lower flowback costs, and reduced time to commercial production. In addition, proppant pack cleanup is more effective, which increases your production rates through a more conductive flow path.

PropNET technology provides a unique, economical solution that prevents proppant flowback in any reservoir environment, helping you avoid damage to surface equipment and loss of near-wellbore conductivity that can limit oil and gas production. Additives designed for severe environments yield high proppant pack strength and conductivity.

Significantly improve resistance of proppant packs to closure stress cycling

Testing confirms that PropNET technology 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.
