[Fracturing] Two Innovative Technologies for Hydraulic Fracturing

Key words: Fracturing bridge plug technology, SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Ttechnology,Oil Well Production.

Fracturing bridge plug technology
Geo Dynamics presented two innovative products at the SPE hydraulic fracturing technology conference recently: a new data analysis tool and a new fracturing bridge plug technology.

In the past,Insiders assumed that proppant and fluid flow evenly in the well. However,Geodynamics conducted a preliminary study on the ground test results of six U.S. oil and gas companies and found that this statement is incorrect and may have a negative impact on production measures.

As a global technology and manufacturing leader in perforation, downhole completion, workover and Wire Rope operation, geodynamics has launched stagecoach data analysis and modeling scheme. Stagecoach model has been verified in the field, which can accurately predict the flow mode of proppant and fracturing fluid in the well, and then significantly increase the oil well production by 10-15%. The model is now embedded in the perforation scheme of geodynamics.

01. Data analysis tools can accurately predict

Proppant and fluid flow


Stagecoach solves this challenge by accurately simulating the migration, distribution and erosion of proppant between perforation clusters. With this technology, operators will be more thoughtful in selecting perforation size and / or perforation charge type, so as to realize the envisaged proppant distribution without increasing cost. Moreover, it also enables operators to have more foresight and know when and where to invest in order to maximize benefits.

The stagecoach analysis software package integrates the hydrodynamic calculation model of proppant carrying fluid flow and the full-scale proppant migration test results into an engineering model. Stagecoach model considers many factors, such as pump plan, proppant load, perforating charge selection, perforation spacing and phase, stress shadow and so on. The model can optimize the operation parameters to ensure more uniform distribution of proppant between cracks. Because the model provides accurate data based on facts rather than interpretation, the fracturing design is more robust and reliable, avoiding ultra long fractures that may lead to inter well connectivity.

Steve Baumgartner, senior technical consultant, said: "through direct research and application of stagecoach model, we have obtained convincing conclusions that the model can significantly optimize fracturing design and well productivity.

02. Fast fracturing plug on Bridge

Improved efficiency and cost savings

Geodynamics also launched evolv new composite fracturing bridge plug with fast make-up technology. The bridge plug can calmly cope with many challenges of horizontal well completion operation, and has been proved to help wire rope operation companies save 95% of operation time. The traditional bridge plug takes 300 seconds, while the bridge race takes only 15 seconds, which helps operators achieve higher operation efficiency.

Evolv bridge plug adopts a novel shear ring design, abandoning the screws relied on by the traditional bridge plug, so as to avoid performance impact. This ring design can be reliably and accurately clamped into place every time in 15 seconds, while the use of screws usually takes 3 to 5 minutes to assemble. Each well has an average of 58 fracturing sections, so evolv bridge plug saves a lot of time and labor. In addition, the unique annular design can ensure that the operator can obtain sufficient setting force, so as to eliminate the potential leakage path, erosion and pressure loss.

Evolv's new composite bridge plug reduces the material volume by 17%, which is 3.5 inches shorter than the old bridge plug, reduces the milling and plug drilling time, and shortens the operation time. The average milling time of evolv new bridge plug is about 3 to 6 minutes. In addition, shorter lengths and composites reduce the amount of bridge plug debris. Unlike conventional bridge plugs, the evolv bridge plug ensures that the wellbore is cleaner and does not produce metal debris.

The evolv bridge plug has a rated pressure of 10000 psi and a rated temperature of 300 degrees Fahrenheit. The bridge plug adopts fast make-up technology and is combined with the ball throwing and recovery system of fractrap ball, so that the operator can safely pump the ball into place.


The annular design of evolv bridge plug saves a lot of time and avoids potential risks for operators and wire rope operation companies through simpler and more reliable bridge plug components. Operators can continue to trust the stability of evolv's new bridge plug and benefit from its more reliable shear mechanism.
