FASTConnect
Frac Automated Switch Technology
Developed to resolve conventional zipper manifold rig-up difficulties and intensive maintenance issues, the patented technology of the FET | AMT FASTConnect system provides an automated operations system that significantly improves efficiency by safely reducing the transition time between pumping frac stages.
Available in a 7-inch configuration, the FASTConnect system eliminates the need for gate valve redress and expensive greasing. It also eliminates the valve misalignment and valve manipulation between stages.
The portable unit requires little maintenance and can follow the frac spread from location to location with quick turnaround times. Due to the remote operation of the FASTConnect system, wireline operations are uninterrupted.
| FASTConnect FEATURES | BENEFIT |
| No gate valves | No rebuild costs, no grease or greasing time |
| Follows frac spread | 1FCS, 1 frac crew |
| Low Cost of Ownership | Less capital deployed, lower operating cost |
| Graphical User Interface | Simple to understand |
| Easy to use | Push-button operation, no additional personnel |
| 7-inch configuration | Higher flow rates |
| Efficient | Less than 5-minute transitions |
| Remote Operation | Operate outside Red Zone or in the data van |
| Increased Safety | No people reduces potential injuries |
| Smaller Red Zone | Improved SIMOPS |
SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN RED ZONE
By reducing the exclusion zone, the proprietary FASTConnect system allows wireline re-head/plug & perf load, frac valve maintenance, and frac operations to take place simultaneously, significantly improving Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS).
Proven Transition Time
LESS THAN 5 MINUTES
Benefits:
-
- Reduce maintenance > No valve refurbishment
- Lower total cost of ownership > Improved asset utilization
- Shorten well transition time > No gate valves to grease
- Increase SIMOPS > Smaller red zone
