Evaluation of Proppants for Hydraulic Fracturing: Proppant Crush Testing, Micro- and Nano-Indentation, Fracture Conductivity Evaluation for Measurement of Cleanup, Embedment and Crushing

Evaluation of Proppants for Hydraulic Fracturing: Proppant Crush Testing, Micro- and Nano-Indentation, Fracture Conductivity Evaluation for Measurement of Cleanup, Embedment and Crushing

  Laboratory evaluation of proppants for hydraulic fracturing with a comprehensive approach to investigate the impact of stress on proppant shape and size, nano, and micro-indentation testing to measure mechanical properties, fracture conductivity experiments for performance evaluation are offered as a service by TORP labs.

  TORP is well equipped to conduct laboratory testing under reservoir conditions to screen different proppants, including nano, and micro-proppants.
