Application of Interventionless Single Point Entry Technology to Improve Proppant Placement Control and Well Production
Abstract
The hydraulic fracture treatment (HFT) and its effectiveness to enhance wellbore drainage directly correlate with each well’s overall production performance and underlining economics. This paper will discuss the potential of ultra high stage count Single Point Entry (SPE) sleeves and their ability to increase control over proppant placement and isolation during the HFT as a method for optimizing well performance, economics, and reduce non-uniformity between treatments and wells.
To address the limitations of current completion methods, full ID single point entry systems have been developed for open hole and cemented applications. These systems provide unlimited frac stage count with lower frac tortuosity, provide increased control over proppant placement and well production, reduce or eliminate ....
