This paper briefly summarizes the laboratory studies that have led to the development of the new, high-strength bauxite proppant, describes field applications of the proppant, and discusses the results of a detailed economic analysis for a particular field. We expect that wide-spread use of the new proppant will be economically justified in the future.
