Description
The computer controlled RCP tester determines the unconfined and triaxial compressive strengths of curable resin coated proppants with or without fracturing fluid under downhole stress and temperature conditions. Furthermore, resin-coated proppant packs can be cured at high temperatures and variable closure stress prior to a uniaxial compressive strength test. The system comes fully equipped with a curing cell, triaxial cell, rocktest press and confining pressure intensifier. The compressive strength is used as a measure of the bond strength of curable resin-coated proppant and their ability to withstand flow back. Effects of temperature and cure kinetics on consolidation strength and stability of resin-treated proppants can also be examined.
