# Fishbones

> Fishbones AS is a Norwegian well stimulation technology company serving the global oil & gas and geothermal industries. Its Branching approach creates multiple small-diameter laterals (branches) from a single wellbore, precisely connecting to fractures, layers, and high-value zones — increasing production, improving recovery, and reducing the need for additional wells, with up to 95% lower CO2 emissions compared to hydraulic fracturing.

Key facts:

- Two product lines: Fishbones Jetting (carbonates, coal bed methane, oil sands) and Fishbones Drilling (consolidated formations such as sandstones and basements)
- Deepest installation: 5,495 m TVD; longest horizontal section: 2,675 m
- Proven with operators including Equinor, CNOOC, TotalEnergies, and PRIO, in onshore, offshore, and deepwater environments
- Developed over more than two decades in conjunction with prominent industry operators

## Technology

- [Branching](https://www.fishbones.as/branching): Fishbones' approach to reservoir connectivity — multiple branches from one wellbore for increased production and injection, improved recovery, and fewer wells
- [Fishbones Jetting](https://www.fishbones.as/fishbones-jetting): Jetting solutions for carbonates, coal bed methane, and oil sands, proven to increase productivity index multi-fold
- [Fishbones Drilling](https://www.fishbones.as/drilling): Drilling solutions for consolidated formations like sandstones and basements, delivering consistently strong productivity gains
