CHALLENGE

Client was seeking to deploy a technology that is simple, and that deals directly with the root cause of the production decline — loss of worm-hole flow paths. Oil production was lost two months after well completion resulting in only water being produced.

As a low volume producer, a cost effective solution, in conjunction with a workover, was initiated to remediate the well.

SOLUTION

Improve connectivity to the reservoir by re-initiating worm holes using electro-hydraulic stimulation technology.

  • Unconsolidated sandstone (CHOPS) reservoir was treated with BLUESPARK® to re-initiate production.

  • Approximately 2.5 m (8 ft.) of perforated interval were treated with our wireline conveyed tool.

  • Treatment was completed in half a day.

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

Blue Spark Energy - case study loss of worm-hole flow paths

CONDITIONS

  • Depth: 450m (1500ft)

  • Unconsolidated

  • Sandstone

OUTCOME

  • Worm-holes were re-initiated allowing oil to flow into the well.

  • Client data from the BLUESPARK® treated well showed an average production increase from 0 bbl/day to 5.9 bbl/day for 90 days post stimulation.

  • Sustained production over one year had averaged 5.7 bbl/day.
