AUSTIN, Texas, July 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Reveal Energy
Services announced today the commercialization of IMAGE Frac™ 2.0
pressure-based fracture maps that validate completion designs on
every well with minimum operational risk and cost. The company is
presenting the technology's latest version, which includes five new
services, at the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference
(URTeC) July 24-26 at the
Austin Convention Center.
IMAGE Frac technology is a new approach to mapping hydraulic
fractures, enabling operators to work with factory mode consistency
that increases reservoir contact by confirming whether a
stimulation treatment is producing the planned fracture dimensions.
The technology—field proven in 1,200 stages in 6 US unconventional
basins—is based on precise surface pressure data recorded during
hydraulic fracturing. Work proceeds normally without a downhole
tool, downtime, or additional crew.
IMAGE Frac 2.0 technology powers these five new services:
Improve treatment design
FracSCANSM
technology accurately quantifies 3D fracture maps of half-length,
height, and asymmetry. The maps allow operators to improve
treatment design and well lateral-spacing decisions, in addition to
evaluating formation interactions or frac barriers and
understanding stress-shadowing effects.
Optimize effective reservoir
contact
ProppantSCANSM technology offers
unprecedented insight into the fluid system and pump schedule for
transporting proppant so operators can optimize effective reservoir
contact. The identified propped fracture dimensions answer the
question: "Where did the proppant go?"
Improve cluster spacing
decisions
PerfSCANSM technology improves cluster
spacing decisions by highlighting the fluid distribution within a
stage. The technology offers a clear understanding of pumping rate
effects on fluid distribution.
Enhance fluid distribution
DiverterSCANSM
technology lets operators know if the diverter is slowing down or
stopping primary fracture growth and enhancing fluid distribution
within a stage. Multiple diverter drops can be evaluated in time
for improved field decisions.
Reduce nonproductive fluid
loss
DepletionSCANSM technology identifies the
depletion boundary surrounding a parent well so operators can
reduce nonproductive fluid loss to improve treatment effectiveness.
The resulting depletion map offers information about the extent of
repressuring the reservoir following a protection refrac.
"Our data offer greater insight into production variability,
based on the direct measurement of stimulation-induced hydraulic
fractures," said Sudhendu Kashikar,
CEO of Reveal Energy Services. "With this greater awareness,
operators can enhance their completion designs to reduce that
variability."
The company is presenting IMAGE Frac technology in URTeC booth
728.
