SwellVert Diverters Significantly Improve Sealing Efficiency and Production

Finoric's SwellVert Far-Field and Near-Wellbore Diverters combines rigid and swellable particles to significantly improve sealing efficiency and production over traditional diverters while reducing parent-child interactions.

Polylactic acid (PLA) and other rigid particle diverter products have limited sealing efficiency if the particle size distribution does not exactly match the geometry of the fractures. SwellVert Diverters minimize dependence on particle size, improving diversion efficiency across a wide range of geometries.

The near-wellbore diverters are designed to divert at the sand face inside the perforation tunnels. This helps improve perforation stimulation efficiency during fracturing operations, increase fluid distribution during remedial treatments, and used as lost circulation material during drill-outs.

The far-field diverters are designed to be placed during fracturing operations and will flow with and divert the fracturing fluid within the formation. This increases fracture complexity and limits planar fracture growth.

Like other polymeric diverters, SwellVert diverters will degrade with time and temperature to a benign, non-damaging fluid. Multiple product grades are available depending on the downhole temperature and the desired rate of degradation.
