CycleStimTM
More Production. Lower Cost.
CycleStim is a superior method of hydraulic fracture stimulation. Its fundamental process has been proven in hundreds of wells worldwide, since the early 1970's.
CycleStim is superior to conventional planar hydraulic fracture stimulation because it enables greater and more sustained oil and gas production, using less equipment, personnel and materials, at far lower cost and with less environmental impact.
CycleStim is more intelligent way to fracture stimulate wells, and it works.
The animation shown below is output from a simplified rock mechanics model of the Wolfcamp B shale, showing the growth of multiple fractures during the CycleStim hydraulic fracture stimulation process.
Applications
CycleStim is suitable for initial well completions and refracs in vertical and horizontal conventional and unconventional formation oil and gas wells
Analytics
The CycleStim process enables real-time, ongoing process evaluation using multiple analytics tools and techniques, to optimize production
Proven Process
Cycle Stim and variations of the process have been successfully completed for many years, with little difficulty and a superior safety
Performance
In published reports on more than 550 oil and gas wells, wells completed or recompleted with cyclic hydraulic fracture stimulation outperformed wells completed with planar fracs
Lower Cost
CycleStim treatments cost a fraction of planar fracs because far less equipment, materials and personnel are required
Environmental Impact
CycleStim treatments require less equipment, water, proppant, and no chemicals, with fewer people on site. It also produces much less intense seismic activity.
