Switching to combined casing

• Minimized well construction time

• Decreased number of runs
• No risks with liner hanger installations
• Decreased amount of completion elements

BPS+C2C system overview.
Features & benefits.
Burst port sub (BPS) sleeve
• Patented design for selective MSFrac.
• Simple, small sized and robust construction.
• Operation: burst disks include atmospheric
chamber and burst at specific pressure in
tubing.
• Adjustable burst pressure: 30-130 MPa.
• Fullbore ID.
BPS Casing Length OD ID Flow area Max.
• No ballseat milling is required.
OD size, mm mm m in.2 (см2) press. • Used with straddle system C2C for MSFrac or
mm m as a toe initiation sleeve.
• Working temperature up to 230 С.

Сup-to-Cup Tool (C2C)

Features
• Max. differential pressure - 69 MPa
• Equalizing valve
• Adjustable space between CUPs
• Mechanical Casing Collar Locator (CCL)
• Includes two memory gauges (one in the bullnose
• and the other in the diverter nose)
• Conveyed on 73.89mm tubing or 60.3mm and above CT
• Allows for reverse circulation
• “Auto-pen” mode switching feature
• Reliable tool for operations in horizontal sections
• Re-fracs
Advantages
• Memory gauges provide valuable
post-stimulation data
• Minimize acid lost to open
perforations by holding it in the CT
Applications
• Selective multi-stage fracturing
• Restimulating existing completions
• Wells with abnormally low/high
formation pressure
• Acid stimulations

Standard MSFS Layout

Operation principle of BPS +С2С:

• BPS subs are RIH within a liner system
• Liner cementing
• Setting a liner hanger packer (provided the
assembly is used together with a hanger
packer), pressure-testing
• Retrieval of the setting tool
• Selective С2С assembly is run into the liner
• Performance of multi-stage fracturing
through BPS subs

NOV Completion Tools experience in
optimization of completion assembly to
minimize well construction time
V5 Informational bulletin for trial jobs results
Informational bulletin for the fastest well construction time for Optimized design project
✓ In the period 22/06/2017 – 21/07/17 the Optimized design project was implemented
✓ Planned construction time for standard technology was 72 days (24 days per well).
The optimized design was expected to reduce time to 40,5 days but managed to achieve results
in 29 days (59,7% time reduction of standard time and 28,3% of planned time)
✓ 3,13 days per 1000m is considered to be the high-score in building horizontal wells.

Comparison: BPS vs Ball systems
BPS completion BallDrop sleeves completion
«+» advantages «-» disadvantages «+» advantages «-» disadvantages

1. Simple and compact construction 1. Relatively small flow section 1. Big flow area 1. Necessity to mill the ballseats
2. No ballseat milling required 2. Shiftable options 2. Higher price compared to BPS

3. Wide range of activation pressure 3. Wide range of adjustable setting 3. For single open sleeves no
pressure (smaller than BPS) options to conduct ReFrac without
additional operations
4. ReFrac capability
4. ID restriction due to ballseats
5. Lower price compared to balldrop
sleeves
6. Compatibility with diferent packer
assemblies for MSFrac
7. Fullbore ID
8. Installable ballseat
9. Optional: Shiftable sleeve
