  • Proppant is a key material used in fracturing fluids to prop up artificial fractures for reservoir stimulation. It plays a key role in increasing the success rate of fracturing job and in improving the results of reservoir stimulation. A series of new proppants have recently been developed abroad and the ideas of the new proppant development is worth studying by us. In this paper the status quo of proppant application is analyzed and the newest progresses made in developing new proppants and field experiment of new proppants (including high strength low density proppant, high flow-conductivity proppant, multi-function proppant and intelligent proppant etc.) are summarized. Direction of scientific research and technical development is presented in this paper in connection with the trend of oil and gas exploration and development in China. Researches performed in this direction to develop proppant technologies suitable for fracturing oil and gas reservoirs in China is of great importance to the security of national energy resources.
