RapidFrac Sleeve
Shifts the blue and pink pieces,
releasing the hydraulic lock and allows
the atmospheric chamber to start
pushing the fluid through the metering
portion. Metering portion times must be
looked at to verify how long the delayed
opening will be.

21. RapidFrac System Completion
 Alternative to “plug and perf” process
 Enables continuous pumping of multi-zone treatments
 Allows for multiple entry points in a single stage
 Eliminates wireline intervention and associated risks
 Reduces water usage and over displacement

22. The Pros and Cons of Different Fracturing Techniques
Perf and Plug
 Proven technique preferred by
many operators
 Time required between frac
stages to set the bridge plug
and perforate is significant
 Screen outs result in significant
delays to clean out the wellbore
(Frac designs become over
conservative)
 Over displacement is required to
get guns and plugs placed.
Sliding Sleeve Systems
 Time between stages is reduced
helping improve efficiency
 Screen outs will result in
significant delays to clean out
wellbore.
 Limited number of stages due to
ball sizes. (being addressed by
opening multiple valves per ball)
 Over displacement is reduced to
place balls or plugs and activate
valves.

23. Identifying the best completion method
 A keen understanding of the reservoir, geology, tectonics, etc. is
required
 The well must be placed to take advantage of the most productive
reservoir characteristics
 Well must be drilled & constructed to accommodate the most
rigorous anticipated treating conditions and maximize designed
treatment placement success
 Preplanning, interdisciplinary teamwork & close, open collaboration
with contractor(s) is essential
 Expectations need to be realistic & managed
 Gather as much data early on as possible, and use it! A well
established baseline is priceless
