Millions/Billions of dollars have been spent by major developers to use the greatest technology ever developed to get a natural gas wells through the stages of fracturing in the Haynesville/Bossier Shales, the company engineers then make a selection of the best type proppant to hold the fractures open for poduction.

Researching the type proppants, I found that the best emerging proppant is resin coated sand with a mixture of resin coated ceramic.  Regular none coated sand, ceramic, or whatever seems to not produce the best results.

Land owners, developers and the engineers seems to be struggling with this issue.  The best technology  that is known to man, one of the greatest gifts from God in Northwest Louisiana and a shot of hope in our citizens arms;  we must be aware of this growing need in developing proppant technology.

Those that have information and experience dealing with proppants, please respond.

Not to mention the amount of money that is being lost daily by all of the citizens and developers mentioned above.  When a fracture gives way under heat/pressure we have rock again.
