Unlimited Frac Sleeves
Vertice Oil Tools’ Unlimited Frac Sleeves, featuring the FOCUS™ (ball-activated) and TERRA™ (cartridge-activated) systems, redefine multi-stage hydraulic fracturing with next-generation activation technology. Both systems deliver the same advanced functionality through two distinct designs—enabling unlimited stage fracturing without drill-outs while providing precise stimulation for extended laterals and HPHT wells. Together, they enhance operational efficiency, reduce completion costs, and maximize production performance worldwide.
Why FOCUS™ and TERRA™ from Vertice Oil Tools?
Our patented TERRA™ Cartridge Sleeve revolutionizes hydraulic fracturing with innovative cartridge actuation and robust design. It supports cemented and open-hole deployments, delivering precise zonal isolation and stimulation for extended laterals and high-stage.
Smarter Completions
Vertice Oil Tools delivers reliable interventionless completion systems that replace or supplement traditional plug-and-perf operations. Our sliding sleeve designs ensure efficiency and repeatability—proven by thousands of successful runs in major basins around the world.
Patented Innovations
With nearly 100 patents, Vertice Oil Tools is a global leader in frac sleeve technology and well stimulation systems.
The FOCUS™ and TERRA™ frac sleeve systems feature non-mechanical actuation and reclosable isolation technology, enabling pinpoint stimulation across every stage.
Engineered to eliminate mechanical failure points, enhance operational safety, and maximize production efficiency, these hydraulic fracturing sleeves set a new benchmark for reliable multi-stage completions in both conventional and unconventional reservoirs..
Key Benefits
Extended Laterals
Reach 28,000+ ft with full toe access.
Production Gains
Earlier oil without cleanouts, higher flow rates, reduced declines, and consistent, repeatable results.
Zone Control
Tools can latch open, reclose, or lock shut to permanently isolate water or H₂S zones.
Mechanical Reliability
Simple, proven designs engineered for high confidence at every stage.
FOCUS™ Ball activated Frac Sleeve
The FOCUS™ Frac Sleeve from Vertice Oil Tools revolutionizes multi-stage fracturing with its open-pump-close design that enables unlimited stage fracs without drill-outs. This innovative system maximizes reservoir stimulation by simplifying operations, reducing downtime, and ensuring efficient flowback.
FOCUS™ Infinite Stages
Overview
Engineered for cemented or open-hole wells, the FOCUS™ sleeve provides precise zonal isolation and stimulation. It delivers exceptional performance in high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) environments and is ideal for extended-reach horizontals.
How It Works
FOCUS™ sleeves are strategically placed along the lateral at predetermined intervals. A precisely sized ball is pumped down to engage and open the target sleeve for stimulation. After completing all stages, flowback begins immediately through the sleeve’s open bore—no drill-outs or interventions required.
Key Applications
- Extended-reach horizontals (ERH)
- Cemented or open-hole wells
- HPHT conditions
- Hybrid completions (Ball Drop, Coil Sleeve, Plug & Perf)
Core Features
- Versatile Deployment: Installs easily with jointed pipe or coiled tubing—no pup joints needed for API connections.
- Intervention-Free: Eliminates post-frac drill-outs, reducing rig time and operational costs.
- Compact Design: 40-inch sleeve length allows tight port spacing (as close as 15 ft) for high-density cluster placement.
- High-Rate Capability: Handles frac rates up to 80 bbl/min with erosion-resistant ports and premium HPHT seals.
- Unlimited Scalability: Maintains a consistent large-bore ID for extended laterals and unlimited stage counts.
- Customizable Precision: Features limited-entry nozzles for optimized proppant distribution and improved cluster efficiency.
- Flexible Options: Available with dissolvable ball technology and reclosable sleeves for permanent water or H₂S zone isolation.
- Robust Materials: Constructed from HPHT-compatible alloys for durability in extreme well conditions.
TERRA™ Cartridge Sleeve
Vertice Oil Tools’ patented TERRA™ Cartridge Sleeve represents the forefront of hydraulic fracturing innovation, combining cartridge actuation with robust, field-proven design. Supporting both cemented and open-hole deployments, TERRA™ delivers precise zonal isolation and unlimited-stage stimulation for extended laterals and HPHT wells.
Overview
The TERRA™ Cartridge Sleeve provides reliable performance in demanding well conditions and enables high-rate stimulation across complex completions. It’s a true plug-and-perf alternative, reducing surface footprint and simplifying operations.
How It Works
Sleeves are installed along the lateral at desired spacing. A wireless dart or plug is deployed to activate the target sleeve and initiate stimulation. Once all stages are completed, flowback begins immediately through the sleeve’s center—no cleanouts or interventions required.
Key Applications
- Extended-reach horizontals (ERH)
- Cemented or open-hole wells
- HPHT conditions
- Hybrid completions (Ball Drop, Coil Sleeve, P&P)
Core Features
- Versatile Deployment: Compatible with jointed pipe—no pup joints required.
- Intervention-Free: Eliminates pump-down plugs, balls, and drill-outs, reducing downtime and rig moves.
- Compact Design: 40-inch length allows frac-port spacing as tight as 15 ft for dense cluster stimulation.
- High-Rate Capability: Supports high-rate fracturing operations with erosion-resistant ports and premium HPHT seals.
- Unlimited Scalability: Consistent large-bore ID for longer laterals and unlimited stage counts.
- Customizable Precision: Limited-entry, erosion-resistant nozzles enhance proppant distribution and cluster efficiency.
- Flexible Options: Dissolvable components and reclosable sleeves for permanent water or H₂S zone isolation.
- Robust Materials: Manufactured from HPHT-grade alloys to ensure reliability in extreme environments.
Operational Benefits
The TERRA™ system reduces surface footprint, lowers water use, and accelerates production. By enhancing fracture network efficiency and ensuring precise proppant placement, it delivers higher flow rates, improved recovery, and consistent performance across global basins.
