The GR ZIP Intervention Platform* optimizes safety, wellsite efficiency and perforating placement for fracture stimulation. This innovative combination of unique technologies has proved to maximize pumping time, reduce risk and lower total cost of operations. Customers are realizing the difference by using the ZIP Intervention Platform to gain reliability and lower plug-n-perf operating time for overall efficiency gains of up to 50%.
The ZIP Intervention Platform was developed by GR Energy Services to optimize safety, wellsite efficiency and perforating placement for fracture stimulation. No other technology matches ZIP performance when measured by reducing risk, decreasing operating time and cost, and maximizing total available pumping time.
Conventional wireline pressure control equipment, perforating gun systems, setting tools and monitoring systems were not developed for today’s high-paced multiwell-pad zipper-frac operations, which sometimes approach 20 wireline perforating runs per day. As the number of stages per day and guns per stage continues to increase, maintaining a high level of service quality and efficiency becomes extremely challenging for wellsite personnel. The ZIP Intervention Platform offers operators fit-for-purpose, optimized technologies for zipper fracs that help
- Reduce risk to personnel — no stabbing tools at height in a high-pressure zone
- Speed up wellsite gun string set-up operations
- Enable faster and safer run in/out of hole
- Lower the risk of stuck gun strings and fishing jobs
- Improve plug-setting efficiency
- Optimize perforating effectiveness.
The ZIP Intervention Platform encompasses eight unique technology solutions:
Link to: ZipLok
ZipLok* wellhead adapter
Remotely operated, hydraulic wireline pressure control equipment release device removes personnel from the risk of conducting operations in a high-pressure zone
ZipLift* nightcap lifting assembly
Removes or installs the nightcap, which protects against debris falling into the well and serves as a critical pressure barrier that maintains well integrity during operations
ZipDrop* optical remote ball dropper
Optical remote ball dropper saves time and eliminates the need for personnel to work at heights or in the red zone to place a ball in the top of the wellhead
Link to: ZipFire
ZipFire™ high-efficiency gun system
High-efficiency, highly reliable gun system reduces plug-n-perf operating time for multistage completions on multiwell, pad or zipper-type operations
ZipLine* polymer wireline cable
Polymer-sealed, low-friction, environmentally friendly wireline cable eliminates the need for conventional grease injection systems and greatly reduces downhole cable friction
ZipSet* disposable setting tool
One-time-use, disposable setting tool significantly decreases string length, operating time and the chance of human error
Link to: ZipRelease
ZipRelease* addressable tool
Addressable wireline release tool safely and efficiently disconnects from a stuck tool assembly
ZipIn* pumpdown service
High-efficiency pumpdown service that reduces risk and delivers completions in less time with lower overall cost
ZipVision* wellsite communications
Real-time remote visualization of the complete pumpdown perforating operation from anywhere team members may be located
