Abstract
In the paper, the technology of the production of the modified ceramic proppants used in the shale gas extracting process is
described. The natural available materials and uncomplicated process to new ceramic proppants preparation were applied. The
modification of the ceramic proppants based on the addition of the waste material as fly ash. The produced ceramic material in
the form of granules characterized by high mechanical properties and low production costs. Moreover, the obtained good values
of compressive strength and gas permeability for investigated proppants confirmed that this material has appropriate properties to
be used in the hydraulic fracturing.
