Hydraulic Fracturing Consultants

Fracture Treatment Stimulation Design Consultants

IPT's hydraulic fracture treatment stimulation consultants provide treatment designs for vertical and horizontal wells that integrate the dominant producing mechanisms of the reservoir and well completion approach in an economic optimization process to provide technically consistent recommendations. IPT's customized fracture models have been corroborated with a significant amount of reservoir simulation of actual production responses and pressure transient tests. The result is that over the years we have developed effective fracture and reservoir models for most formations and fracturing characteristics to give our clients recommendations that optimize the reservoir response.

The well completion approach also impacts the fracture treatment design. How a well is perforated, broken down, flow tested, etc. will dictate how the fracture geometry is initiated and propagated into the far-field. This impacts the fracture stimulation treatment design pump schedule and fluid character/chemistry needed to optimally stimulate a formation.  The integration of this process in conjunction with the significant differences in service company equipment and chemistry is particularly important with the current rapid deployment of all of the different horizontal well and vertical well multi-staging techniques.

IPT's integrated well completion and fracture treatment design process focuses on lateral and vertical proppant distribution, not to simply put the treatment away. This single aspect has been found to have a significant affect on the resultant production response and reserve recovery.  From our study of thousands of wells, IPT's hydraulic fracture stimulation design consultants have developed a unique understanding of what completion and stimulation approaches are most effective to achieve an optimized well response in most applications.
