CARBOBOND is engineered to control flowback of proppant into the wellbore from the fracture. The curable resin coating can be applied to any CARBO proppant. CARBOBOND effectively reduces costly clean-out issues in the wellbore by reducing effective stress on the proppant, providing encapsulation to maintain particle integrity and preventing fines from being released. It is formulated for maximum compatibility with today’s complicated fracturing fluids.

 

Features

• Bonds in the fracture with temperature and closure
• Resin coating completely encapsulates substrate
• Bonded proppant pack reduces effective stress on proppant
• Formulated for maximum compatibility with complicated frac fluids

Benefits

• Versatile – expands the usable application range (depth, temperature and stress)
• No proppant flowback – eliminates subsequent equipment damage, expense of cleanouts and disposal
• Maintains conductivity – resin coating prevents fines from being released
• Maintains particle integrity – prevents chemical attack on substrate
• No additional chemical costs – since no fluid chemistry change is required, the job can be pumped as designed

The performance of CARBOBOND meets or exceeds that of any third-party coating, making CARBO Ceramics a single, trusted source for superior uncoated and resin-coated ceramic proppant.

Products

• Curable resin-coated ceramic proppants
• Curable resin-coated sand
• Pre-cured resin-coated sand

CARBOBOND^®LITE^®: extending the lightweight advantage

The proprietary CARBOBOND LITE technology (curable resin-coated CARBOLITE^® lightweight proppant) enhances and extends downhole application, allowing premium lightweight ceramic proppant to be used at greater well depths. CARBOBOND LITE proppant can be used in applications that previously required intermediate or high-density resin-coated ceramic proppant. CARBOBOND LITE also requires 17% less proppant by weight compared to resin-coated intermediate-density ceramic proppant.

CARBOBOND^®RCS helps you achieve Economic Conductivity^™ in an even wider range of reservoirs. CARBOBOND RCS features higher-conductivity Northern White sand, produced in CARBO’s state-of-the-art coating facility. It is the only resin-coated sand that includes CARBO’s proven quality and outstanding tech support, all at a competitive price.
