Improve recovery and extend field life in existing assets

Unlocking value from mature fields

By creating multiple branches from a single wellbore, Fishbones technologies significantly increase reservoir connectivity and expose a larger reservoir volume without the need to drill additional wells. This allows operators to improve drainage efficiency and access zones that may have been poorly connected to the original completion.

In mature reservoirs, remaining reserves are often located in isolated compartments, low-permeability layers, or areas that have not been effectively drained by existing wells. Fishbones branches can establish new flow paths into these zones, improving reservoir connectivity and enabling production from intervals that would otherwise remain underutilised.

The technology is particularly beneficial in layered reservoirs, naturally fractured formations, and carbonate reservoirs where additional reservoir exposure and improved stimulation effectiveness can unlock significant remaining value. When combined with acid stimulation, Fishbones technologies enable deeper and more uniform treatment placement, further enhancing productivity and injectivity.

For operators managing ageing assets, Fishbones technologies offer an attractive alternative to costly infill drilling campaigns. By increasing production from existing wellbores and infrastructure, operators can improve asset economics, extend field life, increase ultimate recovery, and maximise the return on previous investments.

Whether applied as part of a workover, well intervention, or field redevelopment programme, Fishbones Branching Technologies help operators revitalise mature assets and capture additional reserves that may otherwise be left behind.
