BIOPROP® has properties that make it attractive compared to the proppants currently used in Brazil (sand, bauxite and ceramic):

Carriage with low viscosity fluids, due to their low density, causing less damage to the formation;

Better distribution within the fracture, resulting in better conductivities;

Its use provides better recovery of the fracturing fluid in very low permeability gas formations (unconventional reservoirs), as it allows the use of low polymeric loads in the fracturing fluid;

Enables Gravel Pack pumping in long horizontal wells extensions, since, due to its low density, it can be transported with lower flows and pressures, considerably increasing the operational windows;

It enables the pumping of Gravel-Pack in horizontal wells equipped with flow control devices (ICD – Inflow Control Device) or screens with diversionary drilling, since it requires lower flow and pressure values.
