Fishbones Jetting

A targeted approach to enhancing lateral flow paths

Fishbones Jetting is a branching stimulation and reservoir access technology designed to improve communication between the wellbore and the reservoir.

Fishbones jetting

The system creates multiple precise jetted tunnels branching out 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 Jetting provides a more controlled and targeted branching approach to reservoir access. The technology is particularly suited for heterogeneous, low permeability and naturally fractured carbonate reservoirs. Fishbones Jetting ensures deep and uniform stimulation in a short acid pumping operation.

By creating multiple branching lateral flow paths, Fishbones Jetting 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.
