Fishbones boring, utvidet rekkevidde lateraler

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

Fishbones' Multilateral Stimulation Technology for hydrocarbon and geothermal reservoirs is a well-established method in the global simulation market. Many small-diameter tubes (laterals) drill out simultaneously from the wellbore to penetrate the reservoir, creating numerous laterals. This technology's primary application is to increase a well's productivity index by connecting the wellbore to the reservoir with as many as 200 laterals. These laterals drain layers or faults and increase the reservoir exposure, increasing production rate and recovery. The created laterals are limited to increasing the wellbore drainage radius by 10 meters. The planned innovation aims to increase the maximum drainage radius by two times (20 meters). Once the improved Fishbones stimulation is developed, customers can potentially directly replace hydraulic fracturing applications with the more economical, efficient, and environmentally friendly Fishbones technology.
