THE PROPFLOW ADVANTAGE
Innovative Proppant Handling at the Wellsite
PropFlow is a next-generation proppant handling system designed to eliminate debris at the wellsite and provide a cleaner, more reliable sand supply.
Reliability Through Cleaner, Smarter Operations
PropFlow removes debris from the blender to reduce equipment wear, lower maintenance costs, and prevent downtime. By simplifying logistics and eliminating drying requirements, it extends pump life, lowers operating expenses, and improves overall efficiency.
Frac Efficiency & Continuous Pumping
With equipment easily accessed outside the redzone, PropFlow safely minimizes interruptions and keep crews pumping longer each day to improve stage counts, maximize throughput, and increase operational productivity.
TECHONOLOGY A BETTER WAY
The energy industry has always relied on proppant, or frac sand, to produce oil and natural gas. Utilizing local, in-basin sand is the preferred option as it results in measurable cost savings by eliminating unneeded logistics, transport, and handling.
Over the years, while in-basin frac sand has become more readily available, there has been minimal innovation around the mining and processing steps. Today, significant and continued innovation in proppant selection and transportation has led to a more sustainable, cost savings solution – wet sand.
Transport
Cost effective traditional aggregate transport.
Inventory Management
On-site inventory piles eliminate need for specialized containers.
Debris Removal
The loader feeds the hopper system with reliably metered volumes and the PropFlow system removes all debris larger than 3mm prior to the blender.
Delivery
Cleaner proppant slurry reduces equipment wear and helps prevent downtime.
BENEFITS
CLEAN PROPPANT DELIVERY
PropFlow’s wet sand technology provides a significant competitive advantage no matter the proppant type or condition, enabling us to deliver a cleaner, more efficient product to our customers. The removal of harmful debris at the well without human intervention increases pump time and reduces wear and tear on pumps. Combined with a pile system on location, PropFlow allows for benefits in several key areas:
Last Mile Flexibility
- Utilization of traditional, non-specialized bulk material transport such as dump trucks, end dumps and belly dumps
- Reduces trucking risk by expanding the range of useable chassis
Debris Removal
- Gain control of proppant quality at the point of entry
- Efficient and effective debris removal at the wellsite prior to the blender
- Reduce maintenance costs and downtime related to debris in the system
Wet Sand
- Wet sand use can further reduce costs compared to dry sand
- Eliminate contamination concerns from wet sand
- Improved sand availability in some basins as the viability of sand deposits increases when paired with a PropFlow unit
