De-Risk Decision Making with 3AB™

Process Driven A/B Testing

Quantitative Decisions. Faster.

Evaluation of Completion Variables with an Economic Output in 90 Days

Leveraging a unique three phase approach, Core Lab allows operators to create a statistically relevant data set more quickly. Stage level evaluation provides numerous data points and allows for confident decision making after just two to three wells.

incremental production changes | Tailored to specific basins | Considers rock type & heel-toe bias

Field Testing

Basin specific testing in partnership with operators to optimally design tracer projects based on unique objectives.

Laboratory Analysis

Stim-Lab has been utilized to create a multitude of downhole environments, simulating different reservoir conditions and propped fractures in which to analyze tracer performance.

Data Science

A multidisciplinary approach analyzing Core Lab data to identify trends, insights, and further refine and expand optimal tracer designs.

Example Variable Evaluation:
Frac Additive Effectiveness

  • 100 stages/well in two benches
  • Two unique tracers per each mile completed; one with the surfactant additive and a second one for non-surfactant (clean) stages.

Economic Output

  • Confirmed production uplift
  • Cumm oil allocation shows incremental production (green) from surfactant stages in 60 days
  • Confirmed 15% uplift in production in Well #1 and 7% in Well #2, validating a $310k cost per well
