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.

NAM-SC-155 (USA geothermal)
The Town of Lakeview’s geothermal district heating system had decreased 45% in flow rate, resulting in the shutdown of some buildings. The treatment resulted in a 134% increase in rate, allowing all buildings to be operational again.
MENA-IW-154 (Middle East)
The salt-water injection well was cleaned of formation damage due to fines and sludge, resulting in an increase in the injection rate of 175% while reducing CO2 emissions. The oil production of the field also increased.
MENA-PW-138 (Middle East)
The aggregate oil production for the first 30-days averaged 324 BOPD, up 970% from the pre-BLUESPARK® aggregate of 30.3 BOPD, including one well (Well #4) that had zero production pre-treatment.
MENA-PW-137 (Middle East)
A 60% aggregate increase in oil production for two wells was completed in less than two days.
NAM-PW-134 (USA California)
All wells saw an immediate increase in oil production. The total oil rate for all 4 wells increased 70% for the first 3 months, while the total water decreased by 25%.
NAM-IW-133 (Canada West)
Both wells saw an immediate drop in injection pressure resulting in an increase in injection rate. Step rate tests done immediately after the treatment and after several months confirmed lower pressures and higher injection rates than before the treatment were being maintained.
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%).
NAM-IW-128 (Canada West)
The BLUESPARK® tool was deployed through tubing on third-party E-Line and completed in 8 hours.
NAM-PW-126 (USA Mid-Continent)
The well saw an immediate increase in gas production, which continually rose over the next 3 months. The average gas production increased from 17 MCF/d to 71 MCF/d in a 3-month comparison, an increase of over 300%.
NAM-IW-125 (Canada West)
The well saw an immediate increase in injection rates and a decrease in injection pressure. The average injection rate increased from a 3-month average of 97 b/d to 419 b/d for the first 3 months after BLUESPARK® + Acid.
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.
NAM-IW-122 (Canada West)
Client data from the BLUESPARK® treated well showed over 20x increase in injection rate and 45% reduction in injection pressure. 6 months later this well injects between 60 to 90 bbl/d and pressure is at 4200 kPa.
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.
NAM-SR-119 (USA Permian)
The client ran back in the wellbore with tubing and discovered that the BLUESPARK® had created 11 feet of fill (in 7 inch casing). An analysis of the fill determined the presence of silica and clay, along with the BaSO4, confirming that the perf tunnels had been cleaned.
NAM-IW-118 (Canada West)
BLUESPARK® treated well showed a 52% injection increase 3 months post-stimulation, and 80% injection increase over the longterm.
NAM-SR-117 (Canada West)
Significant inflow of oil was produced after the remediation. Client data shows an average oil production of 36.7 b/d over a one-month period (716% increase).
NAM-PW-116 (USA California)
The wells were immediately put back on production and rates, pressures and fluid levels were monitored. The total production for the 5 wells increased by 65% based on a 3-month comparison, while the water cut decreased by 5%.
NAM-SR-115 (USA Permian)
The post-BLUESPARK® multi-finger caliper confirmed that 100% of scale was removed at a pulsing rate of 60 pulses/ft. Oil production increased from 4.8 b/d to 8.5 b/d when comparing the 3-month pre-BLUESPARK® to 3-month post-BLUESPARK® rates.
NAM-PW-114 (USA California)
Oil production in 3 trial wells was over 4x greater after stimulation (3-month comparison).
NAM-PW-113 (USA Permian)
The December 2013 well showed an average increase of 100% (17 BOPD) in oil production and 127% (19 MCF/d) in gas production over 5 months since treatment.
