Welcome to
Thomas Proppant Sand Testing, your source for rapid, accurate and reasonably priced laboratory testing of proppant sands. We specialize in ISO 13503-2 and ANSI/API 19C testing of proppants
including plain and resin coated sands and ceramics. Our mission is to fairly and impartially test all proppant samples as a means of determining their suitability for use in hydraulic
fracturing of oil and gas wells.
If you
are a sand or ceramic proppant producer and supplier, we can help by evaluating your products for compliance with the ISO 13503-2 standards so that your existing and potential customers can have
confidence in your products. If you are a well service company buying and using frac sands and proppants we can evaluate the materials you purchase to be sure that you are getting a
quality product and that it has not been damaged during transport to your location. Given the cost of these products and the critical role that proppants play in the success of well
drilling and fracturing, selection of the proper proppant is of utmost importance. Whether you choose to use plain or resin coated, sand or ceramic, it is important to run the ISO tests so
that the site engineer has the needed information to be able to make informed decisions about how best to adjust the fluid for optimal proppant flow and placement. This will, in turn,
result in the greatest and longest lasting hydrocarbon recovery rates from the formation making the well as profitable as possible in the long run.
As
president of Thomas Proppant Sand Testing, Jim Thomas has over 40 years of experience in sand testing. Combined, our staff has over 80 years of experience in sand testing. Let
us put our experience and laboratory facilities to work for you to help insure your success in the oil and gas industry.
