CALGARY, December 20 /PRNewswire/ --

- Open-Hole Multi-Stage Completion Technology a Huge Success

Packers Plus recently completed a very successful open hole multi-stage frac in China.

We completed a 5 stage multi-stage completion in China for a new client earlier this year, said Packers Plus International Operations General Manager, Jim Athans. It was a text book job and the entire well operation went very smoothly. The well has exceeded the customer's expectations.

This is the first open-hole multi-stage completion that has been completed for this customer and because of the success of this job, there is a potential for more work in this region, said Athans.

Packers Plus has successfully completed jobs in West Africa, Mexico, the Middle East, Romania and Argentina.

We have achieved success across North America this year and have found that our technology is becoming widely accepted in the marketplace. Because of this, we are seeing that translate into more international work as well, said Packers Plus President Dan Themig. As we complete more wells in different formations across the globe, we continue to demonstrate the versatility of our technology. This results in high-value production results for the customer.
