Hybrid frac completion
Methods and systems for hybrid frac completion include installing a hybrid completion system in a well and, in each zone of a first plurality of zones for plug & perf completion: activating an outer shroud of expanding shape memory polymer (SMP) around a liner, and perforating, using a perforation gun, a borehole wall. The methods further include, in each zone of the second plurality of zones for sliding sleeve completion: activating an SMP packer, and activating a sliding sleeve to expose the borehole wall. The methods further include fracturing the borehole wall by pressurizing the well; sealing, between each zone in the first and second plurality of zones, by actuating a plurality of isolation valves disposed in each zone of the first plurality of zones and each zone of the second plurality of zones; and removing the plurality of isolation valves to produce the well.
1 . A method, comprising:
installing a hybrid completion system in a well, wherein the hybrid completion system is divided into a first plurality of zones for plug & perf completion and a second plurality of zones for sliding sleeve completion;
in each zone of the first plurality of zones for plug & perf completion:
activating an outer shroud of expanding shape memory polymer (SMP) around a liner, and
perforating, using a perforation gun, a borehole wall;
in each zone of the second plurality of zones for sliding sleeve completion:
activating an SMP packer, and
activating a sliding sleeve to expose the borehole wall,
wherein a pipe section with the sliding sleeve has SMP compartments;
fracturing, using a drilling system, the borehole wall by pressurizing the well;
sealing, between each zone in the first and second plurality of zones, by actuating a plurality of isolation valves disposed in each zone of the first plurality of zones and each zone of the second plurality of zones; and
removing the plurality of isolation valves to produce the well.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising pumping a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag into the well.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of isolation valves is activated by the RFID tag.
4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the sliding sleeve is activated by the RFID tag.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of isolation valves are removed by a drill bit.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the SMP packer is activated by a solution.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the outer shroud of the expanding SMP is activated by a solution.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the SMP is an epoxy resin or an alkali metal.
9 . A system, comprising:
