Industrial silica sand has been mined across the United States for more than a of the sand was used for hydraulic fracturing, a technique used in oil and natural developed techniques combining hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling.
Sonic Drilling Ltd recognizes that exposure to silica dust can cause silicosis (a deadly lung disease) and may cause lung cancer. Sonic Drilling Ltd takes responsibility for protecting the safety and health of its employees. It has a major application in Oil drilling wells. A special grade of Silica Sand called Hydraulic Fracturing Sand or Proppant Sand is used in extraction of Shail gas. Hydraulic Fracturing is a drilling technique for natural gas, which uses rounded silica sand as a "proppant", a material to hold open cracks that are caused by the hydraulic fracturing process.
