Proppant
The proppant calculation is used when oil wells are fractured. It calculates the amount
of solids per gallon of fluid. Two units have been used in the past for the amount of
solids added per gallon of fluid: Pounds Proppant Added (PPA) and Pounds Sand
Added (PSA). To accommodate the English and metric systems the following units
will be available.
–
lb/gal (PPA) – pounds per gallon (Pound Proppant Added) for English units.
–
g/l (PPA) – grams per liter (Pounds Proppant Added) for metric units.
The proppant calculation will be available for Measurements #2 – #4.
The proppant calculation is also the calculation for solids/carrier.
To calculate Pounds Proppant Added, the density of the slurry is calculated using
–
User Inputs
Dc: Density of the carrier material – Density of the carrier in grams per cubic
centimeter.
Ds: Density of the solid material – Density of the solids in grams per cubic
centimeter.
–
Calculated Values
D: Density of the slurry – Calculated using
centimeter.
PPA: Pounds Proppant Added – Calculated using Equation 23 in grams per
cubic centimeter.

Equation 23
The value displayed for PPA shall have user selectable units.
lb/gal (PPA) – pounds per gallon (Pound Proppant Added) for English units.
g/l (PPA) – grams per liter (Pounds Proppant Added) for metric units.
