`
`High Density
`Our StackFRAC® HD™ “High Density” system provides more stimulation intervals through improved
`staging technology. With the addition of RepeaterPORT™ sleeves, you can further multiply the number
`of stages in each system. StackFRAC HD technology allows you to increase your production by running
`longer laterals with shorter stage lengths, while reducing costs by decreasing completion times and using
`smaller frac strings/liners and less fracturing fluids.
`
`HPHT
`Our StackFRAC Titanium™ XV HPHT system is designed to provide open hole fracturing for differential
`pressures up to 15,000 psi and extreme bottom hole temperatures (BHT). This high pressure, high
`temperature (HPHT) system accommodates a number of fracturing conditions and requirements, and
`contains premium seal technology throughout. This system gives you the option to frac at higher treating
`pressures in a variety of well conditions.
`
`Multi-laterals
`Packers Plus open hole systems provide an excellent opportunity to complete two or more laterals off
`of one vertical wellbore. Dual and multi-laterals greatly reduce upfront capital costs as the majority
`of drilling cost resides in the vertical portion of the well. Additionally, reservoir drainage is effectively
`doubled or tripled due to the increased reservoir contact along the entire wellbore of each lateral.
`Packers Plus has completed over 200 multi-lateral legs. We have the experience and know-how to ensure
`operational efficiency and return on investment.

`
`SYSTEM OPERATION
`
`01The StackFRAC HD
`
`system is installed
`with a rig by spacing
`out tools on production liner.
`When the desired total depth
`is reached, the wellbore
`can be circulated over to
`completion fluid.
`
`02A ball is pumped from
`
`surface to the toe of
`the system to close off
`flow with the annulus allowing
`hydraulic pressure to build inside
`the system.
`
`03This pressure
`
`sets the system
`by hydraulically
`activating the packer and
`anchor tools. This anchors the
`system in the casing and open
`hole, and creates individually
`isolated stages along the
`wellbore.
`
`04Once the system
`
`has been set, the
`running string is
`removed and the fracture
`string is installed. The rig
`is removed and stimulation
`equipment is brought
`on location.
`
`05Stimulation of the first
`
`stage is initiated at
`the toe of the wellbore
`using a Hydraulic FracPORT
`sleeve, which is opened by
`further increasing hydraulic
`pressure.
`
`06Fluid pressure is
`
`further increased
`causing a fracture to
`form in the rock. Proppant is
`then pumped as a slurry behind
`the fluid to fill the fracture.
`
`07 A pad of fluid is
`
`pumped to flush the
`system of proppant
`above the stimulated
`stage. The amount of fluid
`is precisely calculated to
`prevent overdisplacement
`of the proppant, ensuring
`connectivity to the wellbore.
`
`08Stimulation of the
`
`second stage is
`initiated by pumping a
`slightly larger ball right after the
`pad of fluid. This ball lands in a
`FracPORT H2 sleeve and hydraulic
`pressure is increased causing the
`sleeve to open.
`
`09 This process is
`
`repeated in a single,
`continuous pumping
`operation. The well can be
`immediately flowed back and
`production brought on line.
`If desired, the system can be
`milled out.

`The Titanium XV DC FracPORT™ sleeve is a ball-actuated, hydraulically
`activated injection/production port capable of withstanding large volumes
`of abrasive stimulation treatments. By providing a flow area greater than
`the liner, the Titanium XV DC FracPORT sleeve provides unrestricted flow
`for stimulation treatments. This sleeve can be closed or re-opened for future
`operations. This allows for effective water or gas shutoff, flow control,
`re-fracturing and production testing. A standard Titanium XV FracPORT
`sleeve is also available.
`
`Titanium XV Hydraulic Anchor
`
`Titanium XV Hydraulic FracPORT Sleeve
`
`The Titanium XV Hydraulic Anchor is a hydraulically set anchor featuring a
`slip arrangement with exceptional holding power. It is used to secure the
`Titanium XV system in the wellbore to prevent movement from hydraulic
`and mechanical forces exerted during stimulation operations. This anchor
`can provide extra anchoring for stimulation at the toe of the wellbore or
`anywhere along the system that requires extra stability.
`
`The Titanium XV Hydraulic FracPORT sleeve is a hydraulically activated
`injection/production port used in Titanium XV stimulation system
`applications at the toe of the well. This sleeve opens at a specific pressure
`allowing communication between the tool string and the annulus. The
`unique configuration of the Titanium XV Hydraulic FracPORT sleeve ensures
`full opening for effective stimulation of the toe. It is also available in a
`closeable version that can be re-opened for future operations.

`
`SYSTEM OPERATION
`
`01The StackFRAC
`
`Titanium XV system
`is installed with a
`rig by spacing out tools on
`production liner. When the
`desired total depth is reached,
`the wellbore can be circulated
`over to completion fluid.
`
`02A ball is pumped from
`
`surface to the toe of
`the system to close off
`flow with the annulus allowing
`hydraulic pressure to build inside
`the system.
`
`03This pressure
`
`sets the system
`by hydraulically
`activating the packer and
`anchor tools. This anchors
`the system in the casing
`and open hole, and creates
`individually isolated stages
`along the wellbore.
`
`04Once the system
`
`has been set, the
`running string is
`removed and the fracture
`string is installed. The rig can
`be released and stimulation
`equipment is brought on
`location.
`
`05Stimulation of the first
`
`stage is initiated at
`the toe of the wellbore
`using a Titanium XV Hydraulic
`FracPORT sleeve, which is opened
`by further increasing hydraulic
`pressure.
`
`06Fluid pressure is
`
`further increased
`causing a fracture to
`form in the rock. Proppant is
`then pumped as a slurry behind
`the fluid to fill the fracture.

`
`07A pad of fluid is
`
`pumped to flush the
`system of proppant
`above the stimulated
`stage. The amount of fluid
`is precisely calculated to
`prevent overdisplacement
`of the proppant, ensuring
`connectivity to the wellbore.
`
`08Stimulation of the
`
`second stage is
`initiated by pumping
`a slightly larger ball right after
`the pad of fluid. This ball lands
`in a Titanium XV DC FracPORT
`sleeve and hydraulic pressure
`is increased causing the sleeve
`to open.
`
`09This process is
`
`repeated in a single,
`continuous pumping
`operation. The well can be
`immediately flowed back and
`production brought on line.
`If desired, the system can be
`milled out.
