This project proves whether shale gas fracture pathways can be identified by using the Smart Reamer. If proven, this will validate a lucrative Smart Frac system. Potentially, this project is a game changer as it maximises production by locating natural fractures (better fracturing job) and sets the ideal location for hydraulic fracture stimulation (wellbore isolation devices). It eliminates cycles of entry and exit into the wellbore with wireline. The concept is patent pending in the US, and a PCT for Brazil, China, Gulf Cooperation Countries. The project builds on the successful Smart Reamer TSB 720002 and harnesses the expertise of BG and Smart drilling in an exciting new technology for fracture detection. Oil companies will be provided with data that is currently missing between drilling and completing a well. TSB funding will support such validation and help allay certain socio-environmental concerns. Oil and Gas end users are backing the Smart Frac and will facilitate further development of the Smart Frac system. The project will allow the concept to maximise UK shale gas recovery while providing assurance on environmental monitoring downhole.

该项目证明了智能扩眼器是否可以识别页岩气裂缝路径。如果得到证实，这将是一个有利可图的智能压裂系统。该项目可能会改变游戏规则，因为它通过定位天然裂缝（更好的压裂作业）来最大化产量，并为水力压裂增产（井筒隔离装置）设定了理想的位置。它消除了使用电缆进入和退出井筒的循环。这一概念在美国正在申请专利，巴西、中国和海湾合作国家正在申请PCT。该项目以成功的智能扩眼器TSB 720002为基础，利用BG和智能钻井的专业知识，开发了一种令人兴奋的裂缝检测新技术。石油公司将获得目前在钻井和完井之间缺失的数据。TSB的资金将支持这种验证，并帮助减轻某些社会环境问题。石油和天然气终端用户支持智能压裂，并将促进智能压裂系统的进一步发展。该项目将使英国页岩气的采收率最大化，同时为井下环境监测提供保证。
