Quartz-Petroleum Industry

Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms (silica dioxide). It is basically one of the most famous and the second most abundant mineral with many uses found on earth. It is a major component of rocks (igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks) and forms in all temperatures. Quartz sand has a high resistance to being crushed. We offer our clients the best quality of Quartz powder in India. In the petroleum industry, sand slurries silica s and injects into the fractures and are forced down oil and gas wells under very high pressures. Quartz sand, alongside water and other chemicals under high pressure, is forced down into a bedrock formation via a well. The high pressure fractures the bedrock, then holds them in place, creating a passage for the flow of natural gas from the bedrock formation into the well. This process is known as hydraulic fracturing.
