Hydraulic fracturing
with burst port collars
- a hydraulic fracturing technology applied in oil production to perform hydraulic fracturing jobs using burst port frac sleeves and a tailored selective packer.
During hydraulic fracturing, the frac sleeves are activated by pressure as a selective packer is run in the hole and set opposite the frac sleeve, and pressure is built up through it.
The predetermined burst pressure of the BPS frac sleeve is lower than the design HF pressure, which "opens" the port.
The advantage of the system is that, due to the presence of a selective packer in the well during operations, the borehole can be quickly circulated in case of a premature screen-out.
Owing to this feature, aggressive hydraulic fracturing designs can be implemented, and there is no need for costly services to run in hole coiled tubing.
Advantages:
- The equal-bore inner diameter of the well.
- Unlimited number of HF stages.
- There is no need for reaming in wells after hydraulic fracturing.
- Prompt bottomhole cleanout, short flow initiation time.
