CHALLENGE

Client was seeking to deploy a technology that is simple to use during routine workovers to improve production of their wells in a mature field. Their wells were originally hydraulically fractured, and subsequently had matrix acidizing done on them, but this generally had minimal success and was short-lived.

The client required the additional remediation to be cost-effective and to be done efficiently together with re-perforating and acidizing.

SOLUTION

Improve connectivity to the reservoir using electro-hydraulic stimulation technology combined with re-perforation and matrix acidization.

  • Three wells were treated with BLUESPARK® to improve production.

  • The wells were re-perforated, then stimulated with BLUESPARK® and lastly were acidized.

  • An average of 8 m (26 ft) of perforated interval per well was treated with our wireline conveyed tool.

  • Production rates and fluid levels were both monitored for comparison to pretreatment values.

CONDITIONS

  • Depth: 2,100m (7,000ft)

  • Cardium Sandstone

OUTCOME

  • The client data showed an immediate increase of 96% in the 3 wells combined.

  • Public data showed an increase from 53 to 78 BOPD in a 3-month comparison (47% increase).

  • Sustained production over one year averaged 74 BOPD, a 40% increase over the 3-month period prior to the workovers.
