Stimulation
A well’s natural flow can be restricted by hydrocarbon bearing formations with low permeability. We stimulate production through hydraulic fracturing, which consists of pumping fluids into a well at pressures that are sufficient enough to fracture the formation. Sand and synthetic materials (proppant) are pumped into the fracture in order to prop it open. This allows the hydrocarbons in the formation to flow into the wellbore and, ultimately, to the surface.
We operate a fleet of pressure pumping equipment that is used to serve the hydraulic fracturing needs of our oil and gas producing customers. We provide the specialized equipment necessary such as blenders, high pressure pumping units and real time monitoring equipment. Our fracturing units are capable of pumping at pressures up to 10,000 pounds per square inch.
We manage the fluid handling needs for many of North America’s top oil and gas producers. CPX provides access to fluids, transports fluids to and from wellsites, treats fluids, stores fluids, and properly disposing of excess fluids.
CPX rents specialized tools, equipment and tubular goods for the stimulation of oil and gas wells. Rental items include:
- Pressure control equipment
- Drill string equipment
- Pipe handling equipment
- Fishing and downhole tools
- Stabilizers
- Power swivels
- Bottom-hole assemblies
