Fracturing/pressure pumping
After 5 years of in-depth diagnostic research, the Oklahoma City-based operator shares more insights on fracture behavior.
This paper discusses the development of a multientry, multistage fracturing system and its advantages over traditional openhole multistage fracturing solutions.
Two new studies from completions experts suggest the global upstream industry has a major opportunity in medium-quality reservoirs.

SponsoredAs world demand for energy increases, enhancing the efficiency of oil and gas production is key. Horizontal and multistage fracturing have made a huge difference in recovery. Fracturing fluids have played a key role in these gains—reducing costs and lessening fracture damage. Now fracturing fluids can be more sustainable as well, helping with your company’s ESG goals. -
