At Manara Minerals & Materials FZCO, headquartered in Dubai, we offer high-quality Frac Sand (Proppant) made from ultra-pure silica (≥99% SiO₂).
Engineered to meet demanding API and ISO standards—including specifications for crush resistance, turbidity, and grain roundness—our frac sand is designed to maximize well performance in hydraulic fracturing operations.
Available in standard mesh sizes of 20/40, 30/50, and 40/70, we supply clients across the Gulf region, including Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain
Applications & Performance Highlights
Role in Hydraulic Fracturing
Frac sand—also known as a proppant—is essential in fracking. It helps hold fractures open within shale or tight formations, enabling oil and gas to flow to the wellbore. Transmitted via high-pressure fluid, the sand lodges into the fractures, ensuring sustained permeability and enhancing long-term well productivity
Key Technical Properties
- High Purity (≥99% SiO₂): Guarantees chemical stability under harsh subsurface conditions
- Round, Uniform Grains: Enhances flow within fractures, reduces turbulence, and improves permeability
- Crush Resistance: Maintains integrity under extreme pressure, preventing fracture closure and sustaining conductivity
- Standard Mesh Sizes: Offered in 20/40, 30/50, and 40/70, in line with industry norms
