Technical Data Sheet

AquaBond
Premium Resin Coated Sand with Stress Bond Technology
DESCRIPTION
AquaBond proppants are one of our latest innovative technology platforms available in 20/40, 30/50, and 40/70 mesh sizes. These
advanced proppants utilize a unique resin chemistry that reduces the production of formation water by altering the relative permeability
of water through the proppant pack. This increases the profitability of the well by reducing waste water storage and disposal costs.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Fracture treatments:

At closure stress up to 10,000 psi [69 MPa]

At bottom-hole static temperatures from 120 - 450F [49 - 232C]
Vertical and horizontal wells
Refracs
Any well where water production is an issue

TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES AND BENEFITS

Reduces the production of formation water while maintaining oil and gas production
Minimizes proppant flowback
Reduces proppant fines generation and migration
Minimizes proppant embedment
Stress Bond technology helps prevent wellbore consolidation
Frac fluid and beaker friendly

TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Grain-to-grain contact must occur and closure stress must be applied during the cure period for proper
bonding
