Title: Proppant Selection Considerations

This is a 2015 Frac Sand Conference presentation by Tony Little of Fortress Proppants 1) The proppant that works for a given application is the one that provides the best hydrocarbon production after fracing with consideration to the desired economic return… 2) Proppant selection is a technical, and economic, decision. There is not a proppant type that can be said to be better than others, it depends on the application. 3) 100 mesh is popular because it works. It needs to be used in conjunction with other mesh sizes to work in a fracturing application. 4) Combinations of proppants types and/or mesh sizes are used together to successfully frac wells. 5) API is in the process of updating API 19D.
