LATERALSCIENCESM ENGINEERED COMPLETIONS

LOW-INVESTMENT, HIGH-ROI SOLUTION TO OPTIMIZE HORIZONTAL COMPLETIONS

EXPLORE

A precise plan to fracture with confidence.

Our LateralScience method is based on an exclusive, patented technology that uses readily available drilling data to guide optimum placement of plugs and perforation clusters. This unique method is extremely accurate at identifying changes in rock hardness – based on mechanical specific energy (MSE) – along the wellbore.

Compared to geometric completions, these treatments informed by the LateralScience method create perforation clusters that are significantly more efficient. This, in turn, leads to more uniform fractures and improved production.

Rock-hard proof.

The LateralScience method beats geometric designs hands down.

  • Increased perforation efficiency
  • Reduced frac hits
  • Greater stimulated rock volume
  • Average production increase of 19%

The LateralScience method delivers.

  • It’s cost-effective. The LateralScience method uses existing drilling data to determine completion placement, so there’s no data-acquisition cost.
  • It’s efficient. Because it relies on existing drilling data, you don’t need additional rig time, processes or equipment.
  • It’s scalable. A straightforward workflow makes the process deployable in high-volume, multiwell applications and delivers reliable, accurate results.
  • It’s impactful. It provides valuable insight to help us tailor the treatment design to the geomechanical properties of each stage.
  • It’s field-proven. So far, we’ve used the method to boost performance on 700+ wells – and counting.
