Re-Frac Perforation Plugging Technology

SWELLFRAC METHOD
Swell Frac is the method of isolating existing perforations in previouslycompleted wells. The Swell Frac method is comprised of intentionally screening out the perforation tunnel’s with a proprietary blend of micro sized (50 µm – 110 µm) swelling elastomer and or swelling cellulose material containing a Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP). This material is blended into a slurry with either fresh water, brine water or oil based liquids and bullheaded into the well.

Why Re-Frac?
• Current cost of a new drill well = $3MM to $8MM

• On a typical four well pad, the savings of re re-fracturing with Swell Frac could lead to $12MM to $28MM+ for an operator

• The challenging part of drilling, completion and facilities has been done, this leads to reduced risk and lower necessary capex for the operator.
