Proppant is a solid material that is designed to keep a hydraulic fracture open during treatment. It is usually sand grain or a man-made proppant that includes high-strength ceramic materials like resin-coated sand. The materials should be chosen carefully as they should be permeable to gas so as to withstand the closure stresses and prop the fractures. Proppants can be sorted by their size and sphericity. They also provide a channel for production of fluid. Moreover, a suitable Proppant has a positive impact on the output rate of a well.
