MultiFracTM System
Overview
Our Completion Energy MultiFrac™ limited-entry, ball-drop system combines the patented MultiFrac hydro-mechanical sleeves with our patent-pending BurstPoint™ ports leading to improve the placement of the stimulation treatment and so the increase of well productivity. The MultiFrac system simultaneously stimulates multiple stages (cluster) with a single fracture treatment from the surface.
By performing an increased stage count but keeping the same quantity of activation balls, this system is able to provide an incremental density of stages to evenly distribute the stimulation treatment volumes along the entire wellbore. The MultiFrac system provides complete control of the stimulation process, and at the same time, offers a more complex fracture network treatment.
APPLICATION
- Single design for open hole or cemented liner installations
- Cluster (batch) stimulation of multiple stages at the same time
- Ability to stimulate 150+ stages, if required
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Get faster completion times due to limited-entry stimulation technique of multiple stages with a single treatment from surface
- One ball activates multiple MultiFrac sleeves, which allows higher stage density within the same wellbore section
- Our multiFrac sleeves have no communication with the annulus until the BurstPoint port rupture pressure is reached
- The BurstPoint port inserts prevent erosion, allowing cluster efficiency of ≥90% throughout the treatment stage
- The BurstPoint ports can be sized to control the fracture fluid rate, on a per-sleeve basis
- The adjustable stimulation volumes enable true limited-entry operations
- There are positive surface indicators of multiple entry points, providing real-time parameters operational data
- The enhanced fracture network leads to an increased wellbore conductivity (increased well productivity)
- The surface pressure indications are an accurate monitoring system of the tool performance
- The rugged design for enhanced reliability allow:
- Rotation to bottom, if required
- Handling the high torque capabilities of all premium and semi-premium connections
- The ball seats are designed for quick mill-out times.
