Utah FORGE 1-2551: Development of a Multi-Stage Fracturing System and Wellbore Tractor - 2024 Annual Workshop Presentation

This is a presentation on the Development of a Multi-Stage Fracturing System and Wellbore Tractor by Colorado School of Mines, presented by William Fleckenstein. This video describes (1) the development and use of a low-cost and rapid multistage fracture stimulation technology with cemented casing frac sleeves that eliminates packers used in both conventional stimulation and injection flow control and (2) the development of devices to effectively detect and control flow of heat-carrier fluid solely from a long-reach injector through the network of induced and existing fractures and produced from an open-hole long-reach well to improve heat recovery. This presentation was featured in the Utah FORGE R&D Annual Workshop on August 23, 2024.
