agente de sustentación o apuntalante
English | Español
1. S. [Remediación e intervención de pozos]
Partículas de determinado tamaño mezcladas con fluido de fracturamiento para mantener las fracturas abiertas después de un tratamiento de fracturamiento hidráulico. Además de los granos de arena que aparecen naturalmente, también se pueden utilizar agentes de sostén o apuntalantes artificiales o de diseño especial, como arena cubierta con resina o materiales cerámicos de alta resistencia, como la bauxita sinterizada. Los materiales de los agentes de sostén o apuntalantes se clasifican cuidadosamente por su tamaño y esfericidad para brindar un conducto eficiente para la producción de fluido desde el yacimiento hasta el pozo.

proppant
English | Español
1. n. [Well Workover and Intervention, Shale Gas]
Sized particles mixed with fracturing fluid to hold fractures open after a hydraulic fracturing treatment. In addition to naturally occurring sand grains, man-made or specially engineered proppants, such as resin-coated sand or high-strength ceramic materials like sintered bauxite, may also be used. Proppant materials are carefully sorted for size and sphericity to provide an efficient conduit for production of fluid from the reservoir to the wellbore.

All of these systems can be used as linear gels for low proppant loading or rapidly moving fluid design where velocity provides the bulk of proppant transport.
