The system creates multiple precise drilled tunnels from the well into the surrounding formation, increasing reservoir connectivity and enabling improved flow from the reservoir to the wellbore.
Unlike more traditional stimulation methods, Fishbones Drilling provides a more controlled and targeted approach to reservoir access. The technology is particularly suited for heterogeneous, low permeability, naturally fractured reservoirs and offshore environments where efficient production and operational control are critical.
By creating multiple branches in a short pumping operation, Fishbones Drilling helps improve drainage efficiency, increase production potential, and maximize recovery from both new and existing wells. The solution can be applied in both new developments and mature assets, supporting operators in improving field economics while reducing the need for additional wells or extensive intervention campaigns.
