Optimizing Barnett Shale Re-Fracs with the StimMORE process. Improve reservoir performance with real-time microseismic mapping and dynamic fracture diversion technology.
StimMORE shale diversion service combines fluid-based, tool-free fracture diversion technology with StimMAP LIVE real-time microseismic monitoring. Microseismic data delivered while the fracture treatment is pumped allows real-time optimization of fracture treatments. The service is suited to horizontal well multiple-frac completions, both cased hole and open hole.
The StimMORE service has been developed for use primarily in the Barnett Shale formation in North America, where the temperature range is between 160 and 250 degF and where narrow fracture widths less than 4 mm are expected.
Because it is fluid-based, StimMORE diversion slurries can be pumped on the fly as part of the main treating fluid, diverting the fracture as needed. By using a multicomponent blend of degradable materials, StimMORE slurries temporarily block fractures, diverting fluid flow and inducing the creation of additional fractures along the wellbore. The slurries degrade completely after the fracturing treatment has been completed and leave no residual formation damage.
In refracturing treatments, where wells have existing perforations in place, StimMORE provides an innovative solution for fracture diversion when traditional methods such as bridge plug placement are no longer possible
