How Frac Sand Works

The Hydraulic Fracturing Process

  1. Fracture Creation: High-pressure fluid creates fractures in shale or tight rock formations
  2. Proppant Placement: Frac sand is carried into fractures by fracturing fluid
  3. Production Enhancement: Sand props open fractures, creating permeable channels for oil/gas flow

Result: Dramatically increased production rates from previously inaccessible formations.

What is Frac Sand

Frac Sand (proppant) is a high-purity, high-strength silica sand specifically engineered for hydraulic fracturing in oil and gas extraction. Pumped deep underground under high pressure, frac sand props open fractures in rock formations, creating pathways for oil and natural gas to flow to the wellbore.

Its spherical shape, uniform size, and exceptional crush resistance maximize hydrocarbon production and reservoir recovery.

Spherical shape – Optimal packing efficiency (sphericity >0.6)
Uniform size – Consistent mesh grades for predictable performance
High purity – 99%+ silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Controlled fines – Minimal breakdown under stress
Maximum conductivity – Maintains permeability long-term

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes frac sand different from regular sand?
A: Frac sand has strict requirements for purity (99%+ SiO₂), crush strength, sphericity, and uniform size – all tested to API RP19C standards.

Q: Which mesh size should I use?
A: Depends on well depth and formation:

  • 20/40 for deep, high-pressure wells
  • 30/50 for general applications (most common)
  • 40/70 for shallower or tighter formations

Q: What documentation do you provide?
A: Certificate of Analysis (COA),  test reports, and MSDS with every shipment.

Q: What’s your delivery lead time?
A: Typically 7-14 days depending on volume and destination. Rush orders available.
