EXcape^® Completion Process

The EXcape^® Completion Process provides customized independent stimulation of multiple pay zones, resulting in substantial time and cost savings. With EXcape,^® multiple perforating guns, isolation devices and hydraulic control lines are attached to the outside of the casing. The guns are located across targeted zones and the casing is cemented. Guns shoot through both walls of the casing and are selectively fired via control lines. Each firing actuates isolation devices to ensure isolation during stimulation of each zone. This procedure is repeated for subsequent intervals until all zones are completed.

The EXcape^® method reduces/eliminates many traditional wireline, coiled tubing and regular tubing operations, thereby reducing completion time, minimizing HES exposure, and allowing wells to be turned to production immediately following stimulation.
