Frac sand

Frac sand is a specific type of high-quality sand used in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) to extract oil and natural gas from underground rock formations. Its unique properties—such as durability, ability to withstand high pressure, and uniform grain size—make it ideal for propping open fractures created during fracking, ensuring that oil and gas can flow more freely to the wellbore. Frac sand is typically composed of quartz and is mined and processed to meet strict industry standards. It plays a crucial role in the efficiency and success of fracking operations.
