SpecialReport: Well Completion Technology
tially compressing stage-to-stage times,
Primexx was able to focus on other areas
where additional time could be saved.
The time required to fill and drain the lubricator was adding six minutes of stageto-stage time. Primexx decided to add an
automatic fluid pump to the completion
system to reduce stage-to-stage time by
an additional 4.5 minutes. The high-flow,
low-pressure fluid pump remotely prefills the lubricator, eliminating the risk
of burning wireline through adiabatic
heating. The pump permits the completion
system to equalize in seconds rather than
minutes to reduce transition time to zero
on multi-well zipper fracs and a matter
of seconds on single well fracs.
The ability to quickly and seamlessly
integrate the fluid pump demonstrates
the adaptability of the automated system,
which was engineered from the start as
an Internet of Things platform to enable
capabilities and tools to be added as
needed to help lower completion time
and cost. On the next 14 wells completed,
the operator-driven addition of the fluid
pump further improved the completion
rate to 42.2 feet/hour, a 38% improvement
over the original baseline. Maximum efficiency on these wells was 48.4 feet/hour,
or 59% better than the baseline.
The transition time from pumping to
wireline averaged less than 30 seconds on
the subsequent 14 wells, and transition
time from wireline to pumping averaged
less than 10 seconds. In addition to the
time saved during wireline transitions, gate
valve greasing requirements were nearly
eliminated, resulting in a 90% reduction
in greasing costs. There were no gate valve
failures or repair costs on these wells.
Primexx further reduced well costs
by going to single-well operations. With

pump efficiency approaching 18 hours a
day, the operator eliminated the surface
equipment and personnel costs associated
with running multiwell zipper operations
while achieving the same or better daily
pump efficiency. Using this approach,
Primexx was able to reduce total well
completion time to 3.5 days per well
with 90 fewer hours of pumps and trucks
idling on location, and eliminating eight
SAM BLATT is chief operating officer
at Primexx Energy Partners. Before joining the company as vice president of
operations, he was director of operations
for J. Cleo Thompson Petroleum, focusing
on the Delaware Basin. Blatt had previously worked in various engineering
leadership roles at Devon Energy, Vitruvian Exploration, HighMount E&P,
and Dominion Resources. Blatt holds a
B.S. in petroleum and natural gas engineering from West Virginia University.
PHILLIP DOUGET is manager of integrated service planning at Primexx,
focused on leveraging technology to increase surface efficiencies and well productivity. Prior to joining Primexx in
2017, Douget held various business development roles at Halliburton Energy
Services across its drilling, completions,
water and productions product service
lines. He holds a B.A. from Northwestern
State University.
MICHAEL MAST is completions lead
at Primexx Energy Group, where he focuses on completion optimization and
data analytics. Before joining the company
in 2018, Mast held various engineering
roles at Halliburton Energy Services re-

crew changes per well to save thousands
of miles that would have otherwise been
driven by crews.
A quick connect has since been developed to allow the system to be removed
or added to a stack in 15 minutes. Since
the system can go from well to well without the need for retrofit, the quick-connect
allows the system to be quickly re-deployed on pad wells.

lated to well stimulation and applications
of completion technologies. He holds a
B.S. in chemical engineering from RoseHulman Institute of Technology.
BRIAN WIESNER is president of
surface systems at Oklahoma City-based
SEF Energy, which is comprised of the
Downing brand. Brian joined SEF in
2015 after 20 years in various technical,
management, and international positions

and GE Oil & Gas. Wiesner holds a
B.S. in engineering from the Colorado
School of Mines and an M.B.A. from
both Cornell University and Queen's
University.
TIM MARVEL is vice president, business development and technology, at
SEF Energy. He began his career at
Baker Hughes, working in leadership
roles in product management, engineering, technology, sales and business development. He subsequently served as
managing director at Alcoa Oil & Gas,
and as vice president and general manager for production optimization at
Dover Energy Automation. Marvel holds
a B.S. in mechanical engineering from
Colorado School of Mines.
