Featured SPE Paper
In general, open hole multistage fracturing completions provide an excellent advantage in that they are intervention-less in their standard mode of operation. However, the secondary use of coiled tubing (CT) to handle the planned and unplanned operations occasionally required to reach production objectives is growing. In addition, the use of CT to function ball-activated ports to shut off zones or to re-stimulate is starting to be appreciated.
This paper presents case studies where CT has been deployed and investigates the operational impact and productivity enhancements. Correlations from key hardware variables, such as fracturing port size and type, motor type, mill bit type, and CT size, are also considered and analyzed.
SPE Papers
Packers Plus is actively involved in adding to the collective knowledge of the oil and gas industry. Through the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), and other associations, we are working to provide thought leadership in the area of open hole multistage fracturing applications. To augment the information in this arena, Packers Plus employees write papers, make presentations at conferences and local chapter luncheons, and exhibit at conferences around the world.
