Overview

This opportunity entails establishing proppants plant to serve the KSA and GCC oil and gas industry, with a planned capacity of 250K tons with 2 modules.

Hydraulic fracturing is used in the oil and gas industry to increase the flow of oil and/or gas from a well. The producing formation is fractured open using hydraulic pressure. Proppants (propping agents) are then pumped into the oil well with fracturing fluid to hold the fissures open so that the natural gas or crude oil can flow up the well.
