Baker Hughes’ OptiStriker straddle packer system provides certainty during restimulation

A common problem faced during restimulations is the lack of certainty and control over where treatments are going, which can lead to wasted time and money. Baker Hughes developed the OptiStriker straddle packer system, which was launched at the 2016 SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Conference in The Woodlands, Texas, to overcome this problem. In this 10 February video from HFTC, Luis Castro, Baker Hughes Product Line Manager for Unconventional Multi-Stage Completions, explains how the OptiStriker system isolates individual perforation clusters within the well to eliminate uncertainty around treatment delivery.
