Home > The Keystone Blog > Oilfield Fabrication Blog > How to Choose the Right Proppant Storage Solution?

Choosing the right proppant storage solution is critical for efficient hydraulic fracturing operations. At Keystone Oilfield Fabrication LLC, we help clients make this choice, considering factors like capacity, proppant type, and safety.

How to Choose the Right Proppant Storage Solution?

  • Evaluating Capacity Needs. Assessing current and future capacity needs is crucial. Our customizable storage solutions are designed to scale with your operation, ensuring you have sufficient proppant on hand.
  • Proppant Type Factors. Different proppants require specific storage considerations. We specialize in designing systems that cater to the unique properties of your chosen proppant, maintaining quality and making it easier to handle.
  • Handling and Dispensing Systems. You want to move proppant easily and quickly where it’s needed. Solutions with integrated handling and dispensing systems reduce manual labor and minimize the risk of contamination or material loss. We help our clients select storage with effective dispensing mechanisms suited to their operational workflows.
  • Access and Logistics. The physical layout of your operation and the logistics of moving proppant to and from storage are crucial factors in selecting a storage solution. Solutions that offer easy access for trucks and other transport vehicles reduce loading and unloading times. We will consider your site’s logistical challenges and optimize access and traffic flow.
  • Environmental Compliance. Safety and environmental compliance are non-negotiable in proppant storage. The right solution minimizes accident risk and exposure to silica dust. We design our systems to protect your team and the environment with safety features like dust control systems and robust containment measures.
  • Reliability. Oilfield operations’ demanding conditions require storage solutions that can withstand harsh environments without compromising performance. Durable materials, construction, and proven reliability are essential for an effective proppant storage solution.

Choosing the right proppant storage solution impacts hydraulic fracturing operations’ efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Contact us today to explore how we can help optimize your proppant storage and support the success of your fracturing operations.
