New one-trip multizone frac-pack system with positive positioning
Effective fracture stimulation of multiple pay zones usually requires multiple fracture treatments with multiple trips in and out of the wellbore for perforating and placing frac-pack equipment. A new system stimulates multiple pay intervals using several independent fracture treatments with a single trip into the wellbore to place packers, screens, and gravel-pack tools. The system keeps the equipment properly positioned for each treatment.
