    Typical Fracturing Treatment

    Uploaded by

    A typical Marcellus shale well uses approximately 3,960,726 gallons of water and 5,321,190 pounds of sand. The water carries the sand into fractures in the shale to prop them open. Various additives are also used in small amounts to reduce friction, prevent scale buildup and corrosion, eliminate bacteria, and control iron. On average, a typical fracturing treatment consists mainly of water at 90.71% and sand at 9.12%, with other additives making up less than 1% combined.
