SinterBlast Bauxite
SinterBlast Bauxite is a fine-mesh, angular high strength bauxite proppant manufactured by Mineração Curimbaba, Ltda. in Southern Brazil.
Applications
• More effective lead-ins than 100-mesh silica sand
- Reduce tortuosity by abrasion of perf tunnels and near wellbore fractures
- Reduce perf friction pressure thereby reducing hydraulic horsepower costs
- Prop microfractures with reduced fines from crushing
Advantages over silica sand
• Stronger, more durable due to bauxite mineralogy
• More angularity
• 30 times more abrasive
• Higher crush resistance
• Higher conductivity
Curimbaba has become the largest worldwide supplier of bauxite proppant. With the ore reserves available to Curimbaba in Brazil, the expansion potential is limitless. Therefore it is Curimbaba's intent to remain the global leader in bauxite proppant technology and manufacturing.
