  • You don’t want to cross this bridge… Time between stages in zipper fracking is a significant obstacle, much like crossing a broken bridge with gaps. This leads to higher well completion costs, increased equipment wear, and delays in starting production. Continuous pumping eliminates these gaps, ensuring a smooth, efficient, reduced-cost operation. Don’t let inefficiencies hold you back: choose Downing’s continuous pumping system for seamless transitions and reliable results. Happy Halloween! #DowningUSA #Halloween #ContinuousPumping

  • While we didn’t take home the win this time, being named a finalist in the Best Completions Technology category is a testament to our team's hard work and innovation behind the Freedom Series Hot Swap. Thank you to the Downing team for representing us at the event and to Gulf Energy for the recognition. We're proud of what we've accomplished together and remain committed to pushing the industry forward. Here’s to the journey and the people who make it possible! #DowningUSA #Completions #ContinuousPumping #GulfEnergy

  • This is what continuous pumping looks like. Unlike traditional swaps, continuous pumping ensures seamless transitions between wells. Note the slight-to-no gap between the stages, showcasing continuous fracturing. By maintaining higher pumping rates during transitions, continuous pumping allows for rapid, almost immediate well swaps. Every single second is used effectively. This optimizes fracturing time, ensuring operations are efficient and cost-effective. To see how continuous pumping can improve your operations, visit continuouspumping.com

  • Continuous pumping transitions between wells at high bpm are key to maximizing efficiency and production and reducing cost.   Every second saved transitioning from well to well means more stages completed per day, higher productivity, and ultimately, greater returns. For those trying to ‘continuously pump’ with flat time between stages, the operator is paying for this ‘pumping’ time. By focusing on these operational elements, operators enhance their overall effectiveness and achieve better outcomes. #ContinuousPumping #247Fracturing #DowningUSA

  • 3 reasons why this isn’t continuous pumping, let’s break it down: Reason #1 See those gaps between the peaks? That’s dead time, also known as non-productive time (NPT). Instead of seamlessly moving between wells, they’re bleeding down, wasting both time and efficiency. Reason #2 When we talk about continuous pumping, we mean it—pumping should be uninterrupted, and not just at 5 bpm. Downing transitions at significantly higher rates. Reason #3 With true continuous pumping, the transition should almost be a V-shape, with minimal to no flat time between pressure down and pressuring back up. In short, continuous pumping maximizes fracturing time. This graph? Not so much. #ContinuousPumping #247Fracturing #DowningUSA
