After a well is drilled and completed, we need to know what’s coming up from downhole. That’s where flowback begins.

Flowback is the process of letting fluids (mud, water, gas, oil, and sometimes sand) flow back to the surface after stimulation or pressure testing.
It helps us check well integrity, clean out the wellbore, and measure initial flow rates.

Why it’s important:
-Early production insight
-Detecting formation behavior
-Preventing overpressure and kicks

Safety is key during flowback. High-pressure equipment, trained crews, and careful monitoring are all a must.
