HiWAY

Considering only emissions from proppant and water transportation from the base to the location, equipment mobilization and demobilization, and the fracturing operation itself (activities outlined in green), the HiWAY technique reduces carbon emissions by up to 25% compared with the conventional fracturing technique^†. The emissions reduction is even higher if proppant raw material sourcing, manufacturing, and transportation to the country are factored in the quantification calculation.

^‡ Max. based on analysis completed on various job completion strategies including

• 8-stage conventional well completed with HiWAY technique compared with conventional job design
• single-stage conventional well completed with HiWAY technique compared with conventional job design
• 20-stage unconventional well completed with HiWAY technique compared with conventional slickwater

Improve performance in vertical, horizontal, conventional, and unconventional wells

The HiWAY technique has improved time to sales, fluid recovery, initial production rate, and average-well estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) in more than 4,000 jobs worldwide—including the Rocky Mountain region of the US and the Sierras Blancas formation in Argentina.

Increase efficiency, optimize production

Since 2010, the HiWAY flow-channel hydraulic fracturing technique has helped operators increase production while using less water and proppant. The first technique of its kind, the HiWAY technique creates stable channels within the fractures—decoupling fracture conductivity from the proppant pack. This results in infinite fracture conductivity.
