Overview
When it comes to multistage hydraulic fracturing, operators prefer plug-and-perf using plugs. It's reliable and flexible and paved the way for economic hydraulic fracturing.
For many years, plug-and-perf completions using plugs have remained the method of choice among unconventional operators, and they account for the majority of new well completions in North America today.
Traditional plug-and-perf completions offer stage placement flexibility and enable the treatment of stages as far as wireline and coiled tubing (CT) can reach.
