On a hydraulic fracturing job site, the sand king is a critical piece of machinery at the heart of the stimulation operation. It “feeds the beast” by taking proppant from an endless cavalcade of trucks so that it can be conveyed to blenders and mixed with fluid for pumping down hole. It is the final link in a long and winding proppant supply chain that typically originates in Upper Midwest

Apr 16, 2020 Fracturing fluids are pumped into the well to create conductive fractures and bypass near-wellbore damage in hydrocarbon-bearing zones. The net result is an expansion in the productive surface-area of the reservoir, compared to the unfractured formation. A series of chemical additives are selected to impart a predictable set of properties of

For example, if proppant delivery of Ottawa sand is about 36 PPR with a brand new screw, as sand concentration increases, PPR decreases. In addition, if lower sand concentration is run (e.g., 0.25 ppg) and PPR is run at 29 (if typical is 36), there could be a high possibility that the screws are worn out
