Packers Plus Releases a Multi-stage Completion System Capable of 60 Stages Downhole… With Only 15 Treatments at Surface
CALGARY, Alberta, March 28, 2011 - Packers Plus Energy Services Inc. is releasing a new technology capable
of fracturing 60 stages downhole while only pumping 15 treatments at surface.
This new system, called QuickFRAC(R), is the first of its kind in the
industry.
"QuickFRAC is a great technology that has met the need for an increased
number of stages in shale and tight sandstone formations such as the Bakken,
the Horn River, and the Cardium as well as many others," said Dan Themig,
President of Packers Plus. "QuickFRAC allows the operator to do the job of
pumping 15 stages on surface while Packers Plus does the job downhole,
providing as many as 60 individual stages. This is done by taking a single
pumping treatment on surface and precisely directing it into 2-5 stages
downhole. For the operator, pumping time and costs are reduced significantly
and production results are greatly increased," Themig added.
The QuickFRAC system is a technology that enables operators to increase
the number of fractures in a single treatment operation. This system has been
successfully trialed in the field, and is now commercially available. Using
limited entry diversion techniques and our proprietary technology, the
QuickFRAC system allows you to fracture several isolated stages at one time
through a process known as batch fracturing.
"Our operators are very excited about this new system," said Mark
Rivenbark, Eastern Hemisphere Business Unit Director for Packers Plus. "The
QuickFRAC technology has been proven in shale and tight sandstone formations
resulting in a 60% reduction in operation time compared to our standard
StackFRAC(R) system. This is an impressive savings and means that our
customers will realize an improved return on their investment."
The Packers Plus QuickFRAC system is now available worldwide and you can
