Quartz-Petroleum Industry

Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), and is the second most abundant mineral on Earth. Found in all rock types—igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary—it is highly durable and resistant to crushing. Vkonnect Overseas offers premium-grade Quartz powder and sand widely used in the petroleum industry for hydraulic fracturing (fracking). In this process, quartz sand is injected into bedrock formations at high pressure along with water and chemicals, creating fractures and allowing the extraction of oil and natural gas. Our quartz sand offers the necessary strength and purity to withstand the extreme pressure involved in fracking operations.
