SPONSOR THIS WORKSHOP

Refracturing creates highly attractive opportunities to use existing wellbores for additional hydrocarbon recovery without having to drill a new well, reducing environment impact and capital required. 

As completion designs improve through time, the prior vintage wells in a field are seen as attractive opportunities with stranded volumes of commercial hydrocarbons. Refracturing is a proven approach to economically recover those previously stranded resources.

Refracturing parent wells has also become a valuable option for mitigating the impacts of fracture driven interactions from infill wells or child wells, leading many operators to co-develop refracturing of projects alongside new drill activity.
