What is Frac Sand? View Larger Image What is Frac Sand, and how is it applied in the Oil and Gas Industry? Frac sand is a type of high-purity sand made of quartz particles, known for its durability, roundedness and crush-resistance quality. Because of these characteristics, it is in high demand for usage by the oil and gas industry. Frec and Sand Logistics In order for this industry to produce oil, natural gas, and gas liquids, they must extract it from a well site. However, rock units containing these gas and fluids are unable to make them flow to a well because the rock lacks sufficient pore spaces. Therefore, frac sand is used in a process called hydraulic fracturing, which helps to create fissures into these rock units to draw out the petroleum fluids and natural gas.

How does hydraulic fracturing work? The hydraulic fracturing process starts with first detecting the petroleum-bearing zones inside the rock units and then drilling a well deep inside the rock to reach these zones. Water mixed with chemicals and thickeners is then passed with high force through this drilled well. This sudden rush of water includes frac sand grains, which facilitate the fracturing of the rock and allow the petroleum fluids to flow out of the rock into the well.
