Paper: Open Hole Horizontal Proppant Fracturing Utilizing a New Hydra Jet Fracturing Method

This paper will present case histories from openhole horizontal completion projects using a new hydrajetting fracturing process to place multiple fractures in openhole. The new hydrajetting factruing method can be applied to cased or openhole situations, and does not require mechanical isolation between treatment points. The method works well with both acid and proppants fracs. The case histories will illustrate recent improvements in coiled tubing equipment that have made it possible to reduce the completion cycle time, and safely perform coiled tubing equipment that have made it possible to reduce the completion cycle time, and safely perform coiled tubing fracturing with proppants in an openhole horizontal setting.
