Join us for an interactive tour of PropTester® Inc. laboratory where some of the industry’s cutting-edge technologies are made and validated. The tour will include how proppant is being tested through several methods such as: conductivity testing, fluid testing, friction flow loop system, cementing services along with many other services.

Students will also be able to learn about PropTester's newly established Proppant Transport Research Council, a group of established leaders within the field of hydraulic fracturing from operating companies, service companies, and proppant and chemical manufacturers. The goal of the Council is to identify one-year projects and conduct research to successfully test proppant transport and behavior for various completion methods utilizing PropTester's facility and newly Proppant Transport Laboratory. The tour will include a visit of the state of the art Proppant Transport Laboratory.
