NAM-PW-113 (USA Permian)
CHALLENGE
Our client had experienced a significant drop in total fluid production in these wells over the last several months. Conventional treatments, such as acid stimulation, had yielded short term results and required frequent re-treatments.
To solve near wellbore issues In the reservoir, an alternative remediation technique that was efficient and cost-effective was required.
SOLUTION
Improve connectivity to the reservoir using electro-hydraulic stimulation technology.
In conjunction with a workover, the tubing and bottom hole assembly were pulled and the BLUESPARK® tool was deployed.
Two separate candidate wells were treated (December 2013 and March 2014) with the BLUESPARK®. In both cases, 80 ft. (24m) of interval were treated in less than 24 hours.
The client ran production tubing and pump assembly into the wellbore, and began monitoring the production pressures and fluid levels.
An immediate increase in production was observed.
CONDITIONS
Depth: 7,000 ft. (2,134 m)
Formation: Dolomitized carbonate
OUTCOME
Increase oil and gas production in both wells:
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.
The March 2014 well showed a 210% (21 BOPD) increase in oil production, and 100% increase (5 MCF/d) in gas production over the 2 months since treatment.
The client is evaluating other candidates wells for electro-hydraulic stimulation.
