OilPlus™ proppants are an advanced curable resin coated fracturing sand available in 16/30, 20/40, 30/50, and 40/70 mesh sizes. OilPlus proppants are specifically designed for fracturing treatments in oil and liquid-rich reservoirs. Hexion’s unique resin coating system increases the relative permeability to oil in the proppant pack, resulting in higher oil production compared to all conventional proppant types.
Fracture treatments:
At closure stress up to:
At bottom-hole static temperatures from 120 - 450°F [49 - 232°C]
