Economic Conductivity™

How much would you be willing to spend to increase the productivity of your well by 20 to 30%? What is it worth to increase the estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) of your well by 30%? In more than 100 field studies, increasing the fracture conductivity provided gains even larger than this – simply by optimizing the choice of proppant.

Economic Conductivity analyses are used to optimize fracture treatments and deliver the best return on investment. A bigger, quicker payout – that’s a productive decision.

Cumulative Gas Production

Maximizing the value of the operator's investment

• Incremental production increased 20 to 30%.
• $120K incremental value created in 180 days.
• Incremental proppant cost was offset in less than 30 days.
• Estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) increased by 30%.
• SPE paper 77675 summarized more than 80 papers published describing production benefits achieved
  with higher conductivity fractures:
  - In oil, gas and condensate reservoirs;
  - In carbonates, sandstones and coals;
  - With well depths ranging from 100 to 20,000 feet.
  - Higher conductivity fractures were beneficial in oil wells producing as little as 1 BOPD and in gas wells
  producing less than 250 Mcf/D.
