CARBO Ceramics proppant increases conductivity and improves economic performance.

CARBO Ceramics and its predecessor companies have led the industry since ceramic proppant was first introduced in the 1970s for use in the hydraulic fracturing process. Today, CARBO has the most extensive line of ceramic proppants, developed to optimize productivity and economic return in any type of oil or natural gas reservoir conditions.

CARBO’s ceramic proppant yields measurably superior results versus inferior sand-based products, more than offsetting the incremental initial cost. Numerous case studies and field trials have consistently demonstrated:
  • 20% + increase in initial production rates.
  • 20% + increase in estimated ultimate recovery.
  • Improved rates of return.
  • Rapid payout on initial investment (often in just weeks or months).
  • Lower finding and development costs for exploration and production companies.
  • Accelerated recovery times.
In addition, all of our ceramic proppant products are completely inert and environmentally friendly.

With six manufacturing plants in the U.S., China and Russia, and a proven global distribution network, CARBO can quickly serve the needs of any customer anywhere in the world.
 

In the Foundry, CARBOACCUCAST® improves casting quality and lowers costs.

CARBOACCUCAST ceramic media has been engineered for superior performance.
  • Higher precision and accuracy of castings, due to a lower thermal expansion.
  • Lower scrap cost because of less wasted material.
  • Reduced cost of correcting inaccuracies.
  • Increased ability to produce thin wall castings because of greater flowability.
  • Lower density than other specialty media, resulting in lower costs per cubic foot of product used.
