The groundbreaking technology behind SandMaxX™ is more than just remarkable science. It’s also great business. By distributing proppant evenly throughout the fluid column and creating a more complex fracture, SandMaxX™ dramatically increases hydrocarbon yields. In fact, SandMaxX™ has increased cumulative production by an average of 26% over offset wells targeting the same formations in the same fields with equivalent designs. At the same time, SandMaxX™ reduces water and chemical volumes, and their associated transportation and handling costs. SandMaxX™ also speeds well completions, improving pump time and well site economics, resulting in higher profitability from every well.

SandMaxX’s proprietary, dual-polymer coating is the next evolutionary step in well performance. SandMaxX™ is unique in the industry and is offered exclusively by Superior Silica Sands as the only patented dry-polymer coated suspension technology boosting EURs while reducing chemical and water usage.
