Well Completion – Weatherford

This video shows one of the technique of plug-and-perf completions. They  are extremely flexible multistage well completion techniques for cased hole wells. Each stage can be perforated and treated optimally because options can be exercised up to the moment the perforating gun is fired.

The process consists of pumping a plug and perforating guns to a given depth. The plug is set, the zone perforated, and the tools removed from the well. A ball is pumped down to isolate the zones below the plug and the fracture stimulation treatment is pumped in. The ball-activated plug diverts fracture fluids through the perforations into the formation. After the stage is completed, the next plug and set of perforations are initiated, and the process is repeated moving further up the well.
