Near-Wellbore
Diversion

In the oil and gas industry, poor near-wellbore diversion often results in
uneven stimulation treatments and suboptimal hydrocarbon recovery.

Without proper diversion, stimulation fluids tend to follow the path of least resistance, leading to overstimulation of certain zones while leaving others under-stimulated or untouched.

This uneven distribution causes inefficient proppant placement, reduced fracture connectivity, and lower overall well productivity.

When effective near-wellbore diversion is achieved, fluids are redirected into the under-stimulated zones, creating more uniform pressure distribution and enhancing proppant placement across the entire wellbore. This leads to improved fracture coverage, higher production rates, and increased reservoir contact. In the long term, successful diversion extends the life of the well, reduces treatment costs, and maximizes hydrocarbon recovery, making it a critical aspect of well optimization.

CARBO’s DIVERTAPROP is a cutting-edge, partially degradable near-wellbore diverter designed to optimize well stimulation treatments. It enhances fracture coverage by temporarily sealing high-permeability zones, ensuring that stimulation fluids are diverted to under-stimulated areas of the reservoir. This redirection promotes more even pressure distribution, better proppant placement, and maximized reservoir contact.

  • The partially degradable nature of DIVERTAPROP means that it provides effective diversion during treatment, but then gradually breaks down, ensuring minimal long-term impact on the wellbore. This feature makes it ideal for improving both initial production and long-term well performance. By using DIVERTAPROP, operators can reduce fluid loss, enhance wellbore efficiency, and achieve higher recovery rates, all while minimizing the environmental footprint and operational costs.

  • This innovative technology is well-suited for use in both conventional and unconventional reservoirs, where maximizing fracture efficiency is critical to boosting well productivity and extending the life of the well. DIVERTAPROP helps operators overcome common issues related to poor diversion, ensuring more effective stimulation treatments and greater production optimization.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You
Need to Know

  • What is CARBO offering for near wellbore diversion.

    CARBO offers DIVERTAPROP for near wellbore diversion. DIVERTAPROP is a composite ceramic diversion media that forms a dissolvable polymer matrix that isolates opened perforations, diverting fracturing fluids to non-stimulated perforation clusters, creating new fractures and ensuring more uniform stimulation coverage. The technology effectively increases contact area in the reservoir and deposits conductive ceramic particles in the fracture after the polymer has dissolved resulting in increased conductivity and EUR.
