Production stimulation of heavy oil – PEMEX technology testWe have developed and licensed a non-ionic surfactant based on mono-terpenes that efficiently recovers hydrocarbon flow, removing axial reservoir damage surrounding production wells. |
Water Injection Well Stimulation – South America
We began modelling a Choke Model (restriction modeling) in South America where a state-owned oilfield had decreased their light oil production due mainly to not being able to handle high water cuts, that produced more water than the field could handle. |
Flow additive success – MexicoA high performer - heavy oil production well had their hydraulic pump mechanism changed and the well did not recover to production. Once called by the operator, we analyzed the data and assessed that the well was brought to production too fast and production dropped rapidly. We began a lab analysis to the oil to understand its behavior under different environments. We were able to adapt our leading flow additive product and develop a successful re-opening procedure for the well, adding small volumes of the additive and staging the well opening and measuring the results until it achieved higher-than-expected oil flow. Our flow additive was also able to increase production in a very small dosage. As a field test we supplied a year worth of additive and the well achieved a sustained 200% production from its previous higher rate. |
