Multi-stage Fracturing

Multi-stage fracturing is a technique used to increase the flow of oil or gas from underground rock formations. It involves drilling a well deep into the resource-rich formation and then creating multiple, controlled fractures along the wellbore. Each stage involves injecting a high-pressure fluid to crack the rock, then filling those cracks with a proppant to keep them open. This process is repeated in several stages along the wellbore, connecting the fractures to enhance resource extraction. The goal is to maximize the amount of oil or gas that can be recovered efficiently from complex, low-permeability rocks.
