FracPoint Completion System Used to Isolate Openhole Horizontal Well in Lower Huron Shale
Baker Hughes technology overcame wellbore obstaclesThe Baker Hughes FracPoint™ system provided a completion method using packers to isolate sections of the wellbore (stages) and frac sleeves to direct the frac treatment to the desired stage. The use of this type of completion eliminated the need for cementing the liner, coiled tubing operations, and wireline operations, while significantly reducing overall pumping time.
This particular setup was a long liner string back to surface, so a casing hanger packer was not needed. To provide extra protection while fracturing, a short-radius, hydraulicset openhole packer was set in the vertical intermediate casing. Even though the primary application of the FracPoint tool is for open hole, the system can also be used in a cased hole environment.
