Pulsed power technology is an alternative well intervention method with applications across the lifecycle of a well: from post-completion stimulation to preparation for plug & abandonment. Treatment is fast to deploy and fast to run, with results that last.
Our pulsed power tools clear blockages and remove solid build-up in the wellbore by turning small amounts of electrical energy into pressure pulses that shatter brittle material. No chemicals, no rig, no complex logistics.
Pulsed power is particularly effective at removing scale – including the most challenging scale types, such as BaSO4 – and at reaching areas other methods can’t. The treatment can be deployed on precise intervals of the well.
Applications of pulsed power in well intervention broadly fall into two categories – stimulation and equipment cleaning – with compelling use cases along the well lifecycle, from post-completion through to decommissioning. It has also been used successfully to boost the effectiveness of other treatments like acid.
The technology’s small footprint, ease of deployment and relatively short treatment time suit scenarios where intervention would otherwise be uneconomical. And because it cleans more deeply, results typically last much longer.
Pulsed power treats wells of all shapes, sizes and completion types. It can restore a well’s performance whether it’s an injector or producer, offshore or onshore, vertical or horizontal.
