Global Proppant Market Dynamics

Proppant Market Driver

Improvements in fracturing technology and new drilling techniques

The scenario for oil and gas production throughout the world has been fundamentally altered by the combination of horizontal drilling and multistage fracturing technology. More sand is being drilled and finished into horizontal wells by exploration and production firms, a trend that is expected to pick up speed over time. Due to longer laterals and higher loadings per lateral foot, the average sand consumption per horizontal well has quadrupled since 2013 and is still expected to rise. The rising demand for drilling proppants is the consequence of technologies being developed to promote the usage of natural sand/frac sand rather than ceramic sand.

Proppant Market Restraint

High cost of ceramic proppants

Ceramic proppants are made using an energy-intensive process from sintered bauxite, kaolin, and magnesium silicate or combinations of bauxite and kaolin. The proppants must be homogeneous in size, shape, sphericity, and roundness throughout the production process in order to increase the porosity and permeability of the proppants bed.

The scenario for oil and gas production throughout the world has been fundamentally altered by the combination of horizontal drilling and multistage fracturing technology. More sand is being drilled and finished into horizontal wells by exploration and production firms, a trend that is expected to pick up speed over time. Due to longer laterals and higher loadings per lateral foot, the average sand consumption per horizontal well has quadrupled since 2013 and is still expected to rise. The rising demand for drilling proppants is the consequence of technologies being developed to promote the usage of natural sand/frac sand rather than ceramic sand.

The most popular type of hydraulic fracturing proppant on the market is frac sand. Round-grain quartz sand that is incredibly robust and pure is used to make frac sand proppants. Sandstone makes up most of them.

Proppant's highest market share is in Asia-Pacific, which is also projected to increase at the quickest rate over the projection period. Due to the region's shale gas production, major APAC economies will see an increase in domestic demand for natural gas. By lowering the region's dependency on outside sources, the extraction of shale gas is anticipated to increase energy security in the area. On the other hand, shale gas development is still in its infancy. During the projection period, shale gas output in China will rise as the nation tries to imitate the US shale gas boom. This would greatly increase proppant demand in APAC.
