Curable Resin-Coated Proppant Saves $ 326,000 Compared with Lightweight Ceramic Production trials on three wells in the Eagle Ford formation documented that a Fairmount Santrol curable resin-coated proppant yielded greater production while saving the operator $326,000 in proppant cost. The Setup: Comparing Tail-In Proppant in Three Similar Wells Fairmount Santrol worked on field trials with a south T exas operator on three Eagle Ford shale wells in Karnes County, T exas, near San Antonio. Using the same zipper fracturing design in the same lithology, the operator agreed to use 40/70 and 30/50 Ottawa sand as the primary proppant in all three wells. For the tail-in proppant, one well would use lightweight ceramic while the other two used Fairmount Santrol Super LCTM curable res
