Case Studies
The energy industry is becoming more innovative by the day — from how wells are drilled, to how those wells are produced, to how that product is refined and sent to market.
Our BLUESPARK® technology has far-reaching applications throughout the lifecycle of a well across the energy sector, including Hydrocarbon and Geothermal. Learn how Blue Spark Energy and our clients are part of the energy evolution.

NSEA-PW-152 (Norweigan North Sea)
The BaSO4 scale was removed from the sand screens by BLUESPARK®, resulting in an increase in oil production of 175%
NSEA-SR-151 (Danish North Sea)
The SCSSSV scale was removed by BLUESPARK®, resulting in a successful inflow test and no need for an insert valve
APAC-IW-149 (Japan)
The injection rate increased to as much as 12x the rate before treatment
NSEA-SR-147 (North Sea)
Removed scale from the wellhead using BLUESPARK®, allowing access into the main wellbore.
NSEA-SR-146 (North Sea)
Removed scale from the upper completion of the wellbore using the BLUESPARK®, treating a 7.5 m (25 ft) interval with an operating time of 6.25 hours.
NSEA-SR-145 (North Sea)
BLUESPARK® reduced scale by 80 – 100% and saved up to 5 days of operating time and USD $200K. The treatment was completed in one run in less than 14 hours of operating time.
NSEA-SR-142 (North Sea)
A Tubing Retrievable Surface Controlled Subsurface Safety Valve (TRSCSV) was made operational with BLUESPARK® in 3.5 hours, eliminating the need to shut in the well.
CE-SR-140 (Netherlands)
The mini FHUT was successful in holding a fluid column in the wellbore so that the pulsing was occurring in the required environment. A camera was run before and after the 1st BLUESPARK® run and it confirmed that scale was removed.
SSA-SR-139 (West Africa)
After only one treatment of the SPMs with BLUESPARK®, the tractor/stroker tool was able to retrieve both GLVs on the first attempt. For the lower SPM, this was due to the ability of BLUESPARK® to clear scale from the orientation sleeve and complex shapes like the GLV latch.
NAM-SR-136 (Canada West)
Well #4 (BLUESPARK® treated well) achieved a quicker and higher ramp up in production. After factoring in flush production and incremental fluid production due to reservoir pressure communication, the client calculated there was an additional 60 m3/d of sustained gross fluid production for Well #4 vs the other wells on the same pad.
NSEA-SR-135 (North Sea)
An increase in control line returns was noted after the first BLUESPARK® run, indicating the flow tube and flapper were reactivated. A successful inflow test was performed on the SSSV after the 2nd run.
NAM-SR-132 (USA Permian)
The 9 wells saw the aggregate oil rate increase from 739 b/d to 1071 b/d (45%). Water cut decreased by 0.5%. Gas increased from 13642 mcf/d to 23421 mcf/d (72%).
NSEA-SR-131 (North Sea)
BLUESPARK® completely removed 40 ft of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) scale from the inside of tubing in less than 2 days, as confirmed by the caliper log.
NSEA-SR-129 (North Sea)
The SCSSV inflow tests were successful, making the SCSSV compliant and allowing the well to be put back on production. The production of the well was maintained at 3,500 bpd.
NSEA-SR-127 (North Sea)
Blue Spark Energy successfully performed its first scale removal operation on a Side Pocket Mandrel (SPM) with Gas Lift Valve (GLV) in the North Sea using our innovative BLUESPARK® technology.
NAM-SR-124 (USA Permian)
The well saw an immediate increase in oil production. The average oil production for the first 3 months was 6.4 b/d, an 1180% increase.
NSEA-SR-123 (North Sea)
Blue Spark Energy successfully performed its first Sub-Surface Safety Valve (SSSV) re-activation in the Danish North Sea using our innovative BLUESPARK® technology.
NAM-SR-121 (USA Permian)
BLUESPARK® treated well showed a 268% increase in oil production and a 714% increase in gas production 3 months post-treatment.
NSEA-SR-120 (North Sea)
Post BLUESPARK®, oil production increased 173% from 91.8 b/d to 250.9 b/d. Well uptime increased from 11.8% to 67.8%.
