The technological innovations in horizontal fracturing developed throughout the industry over the past few years have been significant, and Trican has contributed its fair share to this profusion. Because of the increased well lengths made possible when drilling horizontally, multistage and selective fracturing are essential. Trican has developed the following technologies to improve efficiencies and reduce cost for our customers.
Trican’s BPS (Burst Port SystemTM) is a superior method of selectively fracturing, where integrated casing collars containing pre-milled ports are placed into the horizontal well casing or liner string. They are subsequently straddled by Trican’s exclusive selective fracturing cup tool (C2CTM), and pressured up to burst at their designated burst point, leaving an isolated conduit to the formation. BPS will allow clean, isolated and repeatable fractures to be performed, critically reducing the time and cost to complete multi-stage stimulation of horizontal wells. * Patent Pending Brochure (PDF download)
Trican’s C2C selective stimulation straddle tool is an innovation in coiled tubing stimulation, suitable for deep horizontal or vertical wells. C2C allows repeatable, selective isolation of downhole intervals for pinpoint stimulation treatments.
Key to the tool’s success in deep applications is C2C’s unique pressure equalization valve. After stimulation treatments are performed in one zone, the pressure in the straddle tool is equalized to that of the annulus, allowing the cups to quickly relax. The straddle tool is moved up or down hole, the next zone is isolated and the treatment is repeated. The pressure equalization valve provides the added benefit of decreasing wear on the cups, increasing their longevity, and reducing replacement cost and time.
