AADE-19-NTCE-012Jake Huchton, Chaparral Energy and Austin Johnson, Downing Wellhead Equipment, LLC Abstract The paper presents the early field application of a new multi-chamber frac valve, placed between the frac head and lubricator, to improve the efficiency and safety of plug and perforate completions. On two Midcontinent wells, the valve enabled continuous frac operations and wireline […]

SPE-213101-MS Tim Marvel, SEF Energy; Austin Johnson, Downing; Phillip Douget and Michael Mast, Blue Ox Resources; John, Dyer and Jordan Kuehn, SEF Energy; Brian Wiesner, Downing Abstract Primary barriers to fracturing the reservoir 24/7 have been identified as 1) the time between stages (thisincludes transition time and pressure tests), 2) downtime associated with gate valve […]
AADE-25-NTCE-033Tim Marvel and Jose Padilla, SEF Energy/Downing Abstract Since the introduction of the continuous pumping (CP) concept in 2020, automation and operational capabilities have significantly advanced, driven by refined algorithmic control cycles and minimized inefficiencies. These developments have enabled uninterrupted 24/7 hydraulic fracturing operations, establishing a new benchmark in completions efficiency. However, the term “continuous […]
