The Oilfield Technology Group (OTG) of Momentive Specialty Chemicals Inc. has released a new resin-coated proppant technology for fracturing service companies and operators in the Canadian oil and gas industry, a news release said.
Momentive Specialty Chemicals’ Yukon Black proppants are a next-generation resin coated sand that bonds at low temperatures. The company said these proppants are ideal for fracture treatments in the low temperature reservoirs in Canada where flowback control is necessary. Low temperature bonding down to 70°F (21°C) bottom-hole static temperature is achieved without the use of a consolidation aid.
Along with these features, the Yukon Black proppant Stress Bond technology delivers proppant flowback control, proppant embedment minimization, and proppant fines reduction, the release said. These new proppants are being manufactured in Momentive Specialty Chemicals’ proppant production plant in Sturgeon County near Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta.
