Case Study: an Oklahoma based operating company achieves 100% stage isolation in 102 fracturing stages with SLB Fulcrum technology

Fulcrum Technology Delivers 100% Isolation for 102 Fracturing Stages in Oklahoma

SLB worked with an Oklahoma based operating company that was seeing stage-to-stage communication in horizontal multistage fracturing wells, with prior memory-gauge readings showing 22% to 43% communication behind casing. The company wanted each fracturing stage to be treated as designed and to improve zonal isolation during completion and stimulation.

SLB recommended and deployed Fulcrum cement-conveyed frac performance technology during cementing to isolate each stage and reduce behind-casing communication. In the next well, the memory gauge recorded zero fracture communication across all 102 fracturing stages, delivering 100% isolation and ensuring each stage was stimulated as designed.
