Frac sand are very durable and very round grains of a specific size of high purity sand. This sand is noted as being "highly specialized, crush-resistant material produced for use by the petroleum industry." Frac sand is utilized in the fracking process to produce petroleum fluids, such as oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids.

Wisconsin is in the midst of a sand mining boom. The natural gas and oil industries use a method of extraction called hydraulic fracturing or fracking. A slurry of sand, water, and chemicals is injected into shale formations that creates fractures in the rock and the sand holds the fractures open so the natural gas or oil can flow to the wellhead. The sand injected into these fractures …

Silica sand (also commonly referred to as frac sand) is a crucial ingredient in the oil and natural gas extraction process known as fracking. The hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") process for oil and gas takes a mixture of proppant (usually frac sand), water, and chemicals and injects this mixture into a well under very high pressure.
