Vertice Oil Tools

Vertice Oil Tools

Author: collide. May 13, 2024 Duration: 33:09

Vertice Oil Tools didn’t start out with frac plugs in mind—they originally set out to commercialize a sliding sleeve design. But when plug-and-perf took over the game, they pivoted and nailed it with a hydraulically disconnecting refrac liner that’s transforming how refracs are done. This tool makes zonal isolation for refracturing faster and more affordable than the old-school cut-and-pull approach. Plus, they’re not just throwing tools out there; Vertice uses data analytics to help operators find the best wells for refracs, tapping into offset data and reservoir details to predict production bumps. With refracking booming in places like Eagle Ford, Haynesville, and the Bakken, they’re even tying refracs to new fracs on multi-well pads and exploring remote frac lines to make single-well refracs more cost-effective.
