In recent years, efforts have been made to improve multientry multistage fracturing (ME MSF) systems to increase reservoir contact within a single wellbore. However, longer lateral lengths are required to raise stage counts. An ME MSF technology was developed to address these limitations, enabling longer laterals and increasing stage counts while improving stimulation efficiencies and derisking operations. This technology incorporates intelligent, dissolvable darts that self-identify specific sleeves before activating to provide zonal isolation.
ME MSF System
The described ME MSF system was advanced to eliminate wireline deployment of fracturing plugs with perforation guns and eliminate coiled tubing operations.
