Fishbones Stimulation Technology

Fishbones Stimulation Technology consists of open hole liner completions that connect the well to the reservoir through a unique pumping operation. Small diameter laterals jet or drill out from the wellbore, penetrating the reservoir sweet spots to enhance hydrocarbon recovery. The core technology is the same across applications, but it is tailored to the specific geology. For carbonates, coal bed methane, and oil sands, Fishbones Jetting solutions utilize high velocity fluid jets to penetrate the formation. The laterals can extend 10+ meters to bypass barriers and connect faults and fractures. In consolidated formations like sandstone and basement rock, Fishbones Drilling solutions use mechanical drilling to create laterals for stimulation. Both jetting and drilling techniques precisely stimulate desired zones while reducing power consumption and environmental impact compared to traditional hydraulic fracturing. The technology is feasible in new and existing horizontal, deviated, and vertical open hole wells. Fishbones improves reservoir connectivity, combining operational efficiency of open hole slotted liners with productivity akin to fracturing.
