  • May 2023 - Present

  Reporting to the CEO and part of the Senior Leadership Team. Stage is the first to market, most experienced with 10,500 sleeves installed and clear leader in single point and limitless fracturing sleeves technology. Operators are reporting that this technology allows for higher initial production, and reduced declines in the right applications. All in all, we avoid a lot of the complexity of the Plug & Perf systems and less equipment and people at the well site, allowing for a reduced well pad and more efficient operations (ESG). And it is a much simpler design than the mechanical ball activated designs - and truly limitless. Our existing customers see strong opportunities for simulfrac, extended reach wells, where there are limits drilling dissolvable plugs. The economics are looking better every day as Casing price keeps increasing. Show less
