What is a frac tank?

A frac tank is used to hold water, or a proppant, when a well is being fractured. The material is held in a frac tank and connected by a hose or pipeline to a pump that will flow it down the wellbore at a high pressure to push open the formation and the proppant is used to keep it open. 21,000-gallon tank, 500 Barrels, for on-site storage of fluids. Also known as: mobile storage tank, portable tank, VE Tank, Baker Tank, Rhino Tank, Rain-for-Rent Tank, E-Tank Frac tank is basically a generic term for mobile steel storage tanks used to hold liquids. Typically used for fracing wells in the oil and gas industry, a frac tank may also be used to store any liquids like run-off water, diesel fuel, glycol, oils, waste products, etc. They are usually 21,000 gallon single wall steel tanks, but are also offered as double wall tanks by Gaurav Associates of India, AFC Tanks, VE Enterprises and Truck Center of Fort Worth Inc. These tanks have a single rear axle to be moved with a winch truck or tractor when empty. The major manufacturers of frac tanks are Gaurav Associates, AFC Tanks, VE Enterprises, Dragon, and Wichita. Alpha Tanks and VE Enterprises make heated Frac Tanks that may be used in cold climates where regular Frac Tanks freeze. Heated water also improves the effectiveness of the fracturing process.

Why is a frac tank called a frac tank?

The term "frac" is short for fracture. This originates from Hydraulic Fracture Stimulation Treatment. A massive high volume, high pressue pumping job in which large quantities of liquids usually laden with a proppant - sand - are injected at a high rate and pressure down the wellbore of an oil or gas well. This rapid injection of liquids overcomes the porous rock's ability to accept the liquids and forces the rock to "fracture" and split. This is known as a "frac job." Because this treatment requires large amounts of liquids to be stored next to the well, in advance, special mobile storage tanks were invented. They are trucked to the site empty and set side by side to create a large, temporary tank facility. Hence the name, "frac tank."
