Ask Pootie-Poot why Russia is exporting proppant to North America... Excerpt from MinnPost news digest... minnpost.com The Moezelborg arrived in the Twin Ports Sunday morning, the first ship to arrive loaded with bags of ceramic proppant, also called ceramic sand, for use in a controversial process to increase production of oil and gas wells called “fracking,” reports the Duluth News Tribune. The proppant, manufactured by the Russian firm FORES, was loaded aboard the Moezelborg in the Baltic Sea port of Ust Luga, Russia. From Duluth, the proppant will be loaded into railcars for the trip to western oilfields. Proppants are used in a process called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. In the process, a mixture of water, proppants and chemicals are injected under high pressure into rocks to create new channels to help extract oil, natural gas or other substances. FORES is leading the industry in Russia by measure of volume of proppants delivered foresltd.com
