NCS Gains Four Patents On Its Completion System
HOUSTON-NCS Multistage announces it has received four patents covering aspects of its completion tools and
methods:
* U.S. Patent 9,234,412, titled
"Method for shifting a sliding sleeve;"
* Canadian Patent 2,766,026, titled
"Method for delivering treatment fluid to
a formation intersected by a wellbore using
an abrasive-fluid perforation device;"
* U.S. Patent 9,303,486, titled
"Equalization valve in a downhole tool
assembly used for continuous equalization of hydraulic pressure across a sealing
element during fracturing;" and
* Ukrainian Patent 108,664, titled
"Completion tool for deployment with an
oil, gas or coalbed methane wellbore."

"These latest patents make claims in
connection with the technology underlying
our Multistage Unlimited completion system, which combines our casing-installed
sliding sleeves and our downhole completion tools to offer efficient and economic
pinpoint stimulation in unconventional
reservoirs," says Marty Stromquist, NCS's
chief executive officer.
Stromquist reports the Multistage unlimited system has been used to complete 6,700
wells worldwide since its introduction in
2006. In addition to providing precise, consistent placement of frac treatments, he says
the system acquires downhole data that can
be used to optimize completion designs.

MINNEAPOLIS-An exclusive new
electric controller that provides motor
speed control for Wanner Engineering's
Hydra-Cell® pumps features an easy-touse touchscreen display and built-in
programming, the company says.
According to Wanner Engineering, the
new Control FreakTM allows users to enter
the desired flow rate or volume in gallons
or liters, and system pressure in psi or bar.
The controller then automatically runs the
pump at the desired flow rate or volume
total/time, or in preset batches.
The versatile controller enables
programming for flow rate or totaling the
process application, as well as for the life
of the pump, Wanner Engineering says.
Control Freak can control as many as six
pumps with one screen and 10 separate
batch setup screens for each pump, the
company says, adding that the controller
features a variable frequency drive.
According to Wenner Engineering, the
seven-inch color graphic touch-screen user
interface is in a NEMA-4X enclosure, and
is easy to operate and visible in low-light
areas. Operational features include a realtime clock, pump-drive information
screen, four configurable on/off relays,
two user-configurable analog input
displays, and analog and digital I/O for
interfacing with external devices.
