FracPoint System Increased Production in Fayetteville Formation

Baker Hughes technology delivered cost-effective fracturing solution

The 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.

Upon reaching the setting depth, a setting ball was circulated down to the ball seat sub. The appropriate amount of pressure was applied to set the hydraulically actuated openhole packers and casing packer. By continuing to pressure up, the running tool was released and the running string was pulled out of the well. At this point, the rig was moved to the next location.
