Green Youth: Multilateral Junction Development

FY 2018-19 · 2018-05-01

Summary
The project will build, pilot test and demonstrate prototypes of a novel multilateral junction tool (MJT) for use in hydraulic fracturing of tight and shale hydrocarbon formations. Our innovative clean oil and gas technology aims to develop jobs for Canadians and simultaneously greening energy production and and eliminating fugitive emissions. Normally, one vertical wellbore is required to drill each horizontal lateral. However, multilateral junctions allow multiple horizontal laterals to be drilled from the same vertical wellbore, avoiding the incremental cost of multiple vertical wellbores and associated service facilities. This results in dramatic cost and GHG emissions reductions.

Our innovative clean oil and gas technology aims to develop jobs for Canadians and simultaneously greening energy production and and eliminating fugitive emissions.

Description (French)
Le projet permettra de créer, mettre à l’essai et démontrer des prototypes d’un nouvel outil de jonctions multilatérales (MJT) à des fins d’utilisation dans la fracturation hydraulique des formations d’hydrocarbures de schiste et réservoirs étanches. Notre technologie du pétrole et du gaz novatrice vise à créer des emplois pour les Canadiens et simultanément l’écologisation de la production d’énergie et l’élimination des émissions fugitives. Normalement, un trou de forage vertical est requis pour forer chaque canalisation latérale horizontale. Cependant, les jonctions multilatérales permettent plusieurs canalisations horizontales à être forées provenant du même trou de forage vertical, en évitant le coût différentiel de plusieurs trous de forage verticaux et des installations de service associées. Cela entraîne des coûts considérables et une réduction des émissions GES.
