Proppant Conductivity Testing
• Long Term Conductivity Presses(API RP-19D)
• Increased Capacity – Operational March 2015
• 4 two-stack presses
• 7 four-stack presses
• Regained Conductivity Procedures(ISO TC/67 13503-5)
• Measures the impact of fracturing fluid on the proppant pack performance
Past research has shown as little as 5% fines may reduce flow capacity by at least 50%
Capable of up to 500F and 20,000 psi
By creating highly conductive proppant packs to maximize effective permeability
while reducing fines and migration, overall well productivity can be increased.

Chemicals and Additives
Goals Successfully transport the propping agent into the fracture
Be compatible with the formation rock and fluid
Generate enough pressure drop along the fracture to create a wide fracture
Minimize friction pressure losses during injection
Be formulated using chemical additives that are approved by the local
environmental regulations.
Exhibit controlled-break to a low-viscosity fluid for cleanup after the treatment
Be cost-effective.

The life of your well depends on successful cementing operations.
With intricate well designs and completion practices, cement failures have become an increasing threat.
PropTester Cement Lab Services
• Create Zonal Isolation
• Protect Useable Water
• Provide Structural Support for Casing
• Protect from Corrosion
• Isolate Casing Seat for Subsequent Drilling
• Create Hydraulic Seal
Protect the environment and community &
Obtain maximum value from your wells
Goals of Cementing:
24
www.proptester.com
• Loss of structural integrity
• Loss of wellbore integrity
• Loss of zonal isolation
• Barrier failure
• Gas migration (GM)
What problems have you encountered during your cement jobs?
PropTester Cement Lab Services
Cement failure will cost your company lost production time, costly repairs and increased liability.
Primary Cementing Cost ~15% of Total Well Cost
About 15% of Primary Jobs Require Remedial Cementing
Assume 10% of Wells Will Leak Within 5 Years
Typical Number of Squeezes to Solve a Problem = 3
