Coil-Shiftable Completion System

Kobold delivers the field proven ShortSHIFT system to the industry, with a faster, more reliable and cost-effective sleeves and field service.

Coil-Shiftable Sleeves

Two cylindrical metal objects with circular vents and a threaded base, placed on a beige surface.

  • Allows for safer rig handling and much more efficient transport

  • Maintains wellbore pressure integrity years into the lifecycle of the well

Industry’s shortest
and lightest sleeves

Box-by-Box configuration
(Patent-Pending)

  • Save drilling rig time, approx. 3 minutes/stage

  • Provides hands free onsite logistics savings:

    • Pre-torquing the sleeve to the casing in a controlled environment at the casing manufacturer’s facility

    • Eliminates one connection/potential leak point per stage

Two metal cylindrical components with holes and threaded ends, lying on a reflective surface.

Bottomhole Assembly

Delivers superior performance with positive rapid locating capability

  • Achieve high stage counts with fastest average stage-to-stage transition time in the industry

A metallic cylindrical object with multiple holes and sections, resembling a precision tool or component.

Built with high quality erosion
resistant components only
limited by:

  • Frac rate and pressure is dictated by wellbore construction 

  • Sand density and stage volumes dictated by the customer

  • No frac rate limitations when using the ShortSHIFT BHA:

    • Capable of delivering frac rates limited only by wellbore construction

    • Operate efficiently with low volume water requirements

Flow-Through BHA

Onsite availability of the industry’s only Flow-Through tool, providing unrestricted forward/reverse flow for superior wellbore cleaning to execute the following applications:

  • No confirmation run required

  • Reopening sleeves in a subsequent run

  • Casing deformation mitigation - slimmest Patented OD packer element in the industry

  • Remediation/workover applications

  • Wells with high degree of casing deformation and/or debris
