Targeted Completions Change Economics in Unconventional Reservoirs

One of the greatest challenges in any horizontal completion is the need to have efficient completion techniques that will<br>minimize the cost of the completion. Traditional techniques that only rely on systematic perforation and fracture treating<br>techniques do not allow the operator to accomplish any understanding of the problems involved in these completions.<br>Horizontal completions are achieved by perforating at periodic intervals and applying the same fracture treatment to each one<br>of the perforated segments of the well.
