CARBOTAG

Identifies the precise well or fracture stage that flows back proppant

CARBO Ceramics uses a patented process to add a unique chemical marker to any CARBO proppant during manufacturing. Non-radioactive chemical taggants are blended into the ceramic ore and do not degrade over time. If CARBOTAG proppant is found in a common separation facility, it can be easily determined which fracture or stage is allowing proppant to flow to the surface.

Since the taggants are added in trace concentrations during the manufacturing process, they do not alter the physical properties of the proppant. And since the taggants are non-radioactive, they do not present any unique health hazards or any additional handling requirements.

Features

  • Non-radioactive taggant that can be added to any CARBO proppant during manufacturing.

  • More than 20 taggants available.

  • Upon flowback, the taggant is easily identified with routine analysis.
