Mid-Stage Diversion

A customer began using SlicFrac Perf POD™ plugs, for mid-stage diversion, to improve perf cluster efficiency and increase overall production. To optimize procedure and reduce completion costs, the customer began to exclude a portion of the bridge plugs, resulting in extended stage lengths...

SlicFrac Eliminates Bashing

Stimulating neighboring wellbores can sometimes harm production of the original (parent) well. The subsequent well (child) seldom produces as much as the parent, as the reservoir can become depleted over time. Maintaining near wellbore stimulation of the child wells can help to eliminate the bashing effect...

SlicFrac Seals Multistage Sleeve

An alternative to conventional plug ‘n perf completions is a multistage sleeve system. Sleeves are installed directly into the casing string, placed throughout the lateral section at points of interest, and cemented in hole...

Diverting With SlicFrac

The Plug ‘n Perf completion method utilizes a single wireline run to set a bridge plug for isolation and then perforate the next interval, prior to frac stimulation. In horizontal applications, the wireline assembly is pumped down hole to reach the desired depth...

Vertical Recompletion

Refracturing or recompleting existing wells can prove to be a cost effective solution for an increase in production, in comparison to drilling/completing a new wellbore. With both horizontal and vertical wellbores, previous completion designs may not have been optimized for cluster spacing/efficiency...

Wireline Deployed PODs

The typical Plug ‘n Perf completion utilizes a single wireline run to set a bridge plug and then perforate the next interval prior to frac stimulation. The number of bridge plugs utilized in a single wellbore is dependent on the length of lateral, number of clusters and stage spacing...

Full Well Diversion

Due to multiple casing ID restrictions, a customer in the DJ Basin required an alternative solution to isolate intervals and effectively stimulate the entire lateral. The customer replaced all frac plugs with SlicFrac Perf POD™ plugs, deployed between each frac stimulation to isolate and divert the flow to the next interval of perforations...

Increased Production with SlicFrac

A customer in South Texas was interested in determining the most effective solution to optimize their production. Under similar wellbore conditions, they utilized a two well pad to evaluate the use of Thru Tubing Solutions’ SlicFrac Diverter System to stimulate one well and completed their standard plug-n-perf design on the second well....

Isolating Neighboring Wells

Testing the use of diverter to mitigate communication between offset wells. Under similar wellbore conditions, a three well pad was utilized to evaluate the use of Thru Tubing Solutions’ SlicFrac Diverter System to stimulate two wells, and their standard plug-n-perf design with no diverter on the remaining well...

Extending Stage Lengths

A customer in the Haynesville Shale was looking to optimize their existing completion design. Their goal was to reduce the overall cost and time associated to complete the hydraulic fracturing and coiled tubing cleanout of the wellbores. Thru Tubing Solutions collaborated with the operator to redesign the perforation schedule...

Diverting Acid Treatment

A customer in the North Sea was interested in testing the use of diverter to effectively restimulate all perforations with an acid treatment (28% HCl), to eliminate the near-wellbore damage and effects of scale in the perforations.

Diversion Optimization in New Well Completions
Completion optimization continues to be a priority for many operators. The process of adding diverter to hydraulic fracturing treatments remains one of the fastest growing techniques to gain operational efficiency while maintaining the desired reservoir contact during the treatment. Case studies in this paper are utilized to illustrate the effects of diversion on the overall completion program...
