AvantGuard
Advanced flowback services
Maintain the fracture–wellbore connection in the secure operating envelope
AvantGuard advanced flowback services optimize your well’s performance from poststimulation operations through production. Ongoing, real-time monitoring ensures the well is being operated within a secure operating envelope (SOE)—protecting both the hydraulic fractures and your ROI during the lifetime of the well.
The SOE identifies the operational parameters that preserve the connection between hydraulic fractures and the wellbore. The operational parameters are defined from real-time pressure and production data, including solids production monitoring. This advanced characterization of well performance also defines an optimal choke management strategy for productivity in both conventional and unconventional wells.
Integrate modeling, monitoring, and control to optimize your fractured wells’ productivity.
AvantGuard services continuously monitored sand production (orange) and the liquid rate (blue) to determine that the flow rate limit for maintaining proppant pack stability was 2,000 bbl/d.
Minimize proppant flowback and solids production
Solids production and the liquid flow rate are measured using the Vx Spectra surface multiphase flowmeter, which accurately captures multiphase flow dynamics in any flow regime for all fluid and solid types. This continuous data is analyzed in real time by AvantGuard services to implement a predictive flowback strategy based on effective choke management.
