Carbo Ceramics Inc. has unveiled Kryptosphere, an ultra-conductive, ultra-high strength proppant technology engineered to maximize and sustain hydrocarbon flow at high closure stresses for the life of the well.
Developed in response to a request from a major operator in the Gulf of Mexico, Carbo said in a news release that Kryptosphere is able to deliver more than twice the baseline conductivity of bauxite-based, high-strength proppants at 20,000 psi closure stresses.
The company claims that Kryptosphere’s precision-engineered microstructure translates into a stronger, more spherical, more uniform and smoother proppant that creates more space in the fracture for hydrocarbon flow as well as a more uniform flow path.
