Deerfield Beach, FL, April 19, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Zion Research has published a new report titled “Proppants (Ceramic, Sand and Resin Coated) Market for Shale Gas, Tight Gas and Other Applications: Global Industry Perspective, Comprehensive Analysis and Forecast, 2014-2020.” In terms of volume, the global proppants market stood at 45.0 million tons in 2014 and is expected to reach 90.0 million tons in 2020, growing at a CAGR of 10.5% between 2015 and 2020.
Proppant is a solid powder like material that aids to open the fractures in hydraulic fracturing treatment. Hydraulic fracturing is a stimulation technique in which proppant is injected as a fracking fluid to break the fractures to liberate the trapped gas deposits. Proppants are available in different shapes, sizes, density and materials. Based on requirements appropriate proppants are utilized in fracturing treatment.
