Integrate multistage stimulation and mechanical sand control

The Ratek Proppexā„¢ frac sleeve combines precise stage-by-stage stimulation with post-frac sand control in one completion-integrated system. After stimulation, the sleeve positions a mechanical screen across the frac ports to help prevent proppant and formation sand from entering the wellbore during flowback and production. Built on the field-proven Innovusā„¢ platform, the multicycle sleeve reduces sand accumulation, cleanout requirements, and artificial-lift equipment wear while maintaining operational flexibility throughout the well lifecycle.

Cementable

Boost frac reliability and speed with a cementable completions design.

Life of Well Flexibility

Return to any mode at any stage, anytime, with full life of well management.

Sand Control

Prevent the inflow of proppant with built-in mechanical sand control.

Two Barrels. Four Modes.

Get unlimited fractures with a built-in mechanical sand control solution without reducing the overall ID of your casing.

Stage-by-stage mechanical sand control provides advanced operational flexibility. Avoid erosion and plugging caused by proppant and formation sand while enhancing your reservoir's integrity.

Frac

Frac

Accelerated operational speed while maximizing fracture height and growth

Isolate

Isolate

Isolate unwanted zones, reestablish wellbore integrity, and execute out-of sequence fracturing with reclosable sleeve funtionality.

Produce

Produce

Open unfiltered production mode allows you to produce without mechanical sand control as required.

Screen

Screen

The wire-wrapped screen is designed to resist plugging and erosion with best in class sand control.

Superior Proppant Control

The Ratek Proppex frac sleeve gives you operational flexibility to open, close, and screen at any point of your well's lifecycle. The sleeve thrives in low mobility environments where higher frac rates are required. Its robust screen is designed to withstand plugging and erosion, delivering proven results in multiple deep-sea reservoirs worldwide.

Base Wire

Base Pipe

The perforated base pipe is the central tubular structure which supports the rib- and wrapped-wire assembly. It is the primary conduit for production fluids to flow from the reservoir to the wellbore. The base pipe is designed to handle high-pressure and high-velocity conditions. Its durability ensures long-term reliability in demanding downhole environments.

Rib Wire

Rib Wire

The rib wire, in a wire-wrapped screen, provides structural support to the screen assembly. These wires run along the length of the screen, acting as a backbone to maintain the integrity and shape of the screen under high reservoir pressures.

Wrap Wire

Wrap Wire

The wrap wire is wound around the rib wires in a spiral. It forms the filtration surface of the screen. The wrap wire is designed with precise gaps small enough to block formation sand and proppant while allowing hydrocarbons to flow freely into the wellbore.

Precise Activation

The Ratek FIA and the optional Ratek Proppex re-open tool activates the four sleeve modes cycled by four tool positions with operational confidence.

Ratek Proppex Re-Open Tool

Ready. Set. Screen.

The Ratek Proppex re-open tool is a bottomhole assembly (BHA) deployed on coil or jointed tubing to shift the Ratek Proppex sleeve into position across the frac ports for screened production.


Mechanical Sand Control

The Ratek Proppex frac sleeve is the all-in-one tool combining cementable sand control with shift-frac-close functionality. The sleeve operates in four distinct modes for operational flexibility. It excels in low-mobility environments with unmatched reliability in sand-laden fluids.
