Apq Pt Proppant

APQ PT is the new generation ultra light weight (ULW) proppant designed for use in partial monolayer fracture stimulation applications. It is an advanced thermoset nanocomposite bead, wherein an intimately dispersed nanofiller provides strong reinforcement. The product represents a breakthrough in ULW proppant technology and is subject to ongoing performance improvements and optimization. APQ PT can be transported by a less complex fracturing fluid and at the same time, be strong enough to withstand reservoir stresses. It could effectively be used with simpler fracturing fluids, like slick water.
APQ PT can be used in partial monolayers to provide excellent closure resistance in oil and gas reservoirs. The low specific gravity of APQ PT approaches that of water allowing for excellent proppant distribution throughout the fracture network.
