Abstract

Sand quality laboratory tests have been carried out on local and import uncoated sands. Based on results of sand sieve, roundness, sphericity, turbidity, acid solubility and crush resistance at 3000 psi quality tests of import uncoated sand has better quality than local sand. The import sand fulfills API – RP 56 specification requirements and will be able used in hydraulic fracturing operation. Whereas, the local uncoated sand does not achieve API - RP 56 specification requirements.
