ABANDON THE BASICS AND

GET THE BEST VALUE FOR YOUR

COMPLETION WITH vFRAC

In response to current industry conditions, vFRAC is introduced as the newest

line of energetics for consistent performance. Perforations are a key factor in
the success of initiating fractures during hydraulic stimulation, and consistent
holes have proven to treat clusters more effectively over the length of the stage.
Core Lab is emphasizing perforating efficiency in these times with an offering of
consistent hole charges aimed at delivering the best value for fracturing with a
reduced hole size variation over conventional perforating.

Advantages:
• Promotes cluster effectiveness with
consistent hole sizes

• Reduces cost associated with hydraulic

fracturing operations

• Tested in actual casing to predict accurate

downhole results
