Tech Hub

 

The petroleum industry is becoming more innovative by the day – in how wells are drilled, to how those wells are produced, to how that product is refined and sent to market. It is essential the industry evolves, not only with the times, but with what the world demands.

Learn how Blue Spark Energy and our clients are part of that evolution.

Whitepapers

Reducing Skin with EHS

This white paper deals with near-wellbore damage (“skin”) in oil and gas wells, and how electro-hydraulic stimulation (EHS) can be used as an alternative to other traditional methods to reduce skin and improve the flow of fluids through the formation rock.

Enhancing Matrix Acidizing with EHS

This white paper deals with using electro-hydraulic stimulation (EHS) to make matrix acidizing more effective by opening up the pore spaces to create more pathways for the acid to travel through, thereby improving the permeability in the near-wellbore.

Cleaning Scale from Upper Completion Equipment with EHP

This white paper outlines how scale can be removed in upper completion equipment (safety valves, side pocket mandrels, and tubulars) using electro-hydraulic pulsing.

Customizable to each wellbore’s needs

Spark-640x360-(Animated).gif

BLUESPARK® works by converting low power electrical energy into high power hydraulic pressure pulses. These pulses can be repeated thousands of times during each descent into the wellbore. The Fluid Hold-Up tool is designed to maintain a fluid column over the BLUESPARK® in wellbores that contain a gas or a liquid with gas bubbles. The FHUT configuration can be customized specifically for each wellbore.
