HES' Stim Star Performs Stimulation Treatment Resulting In The Most Prolific Producing Well Ever In Gulf of Mexico
Houston, Texas - Halliburton Energy Services' vessel, M/V Stim Star, was used to stimulate production from one well at Shell Offshore Inc.'s Ursa deepwater development in the Gulf of Mexico, southeast of New Orleans. Bettering the previously set record, which was also a Halliburton completion, one of the wells at the Ursa tension leg platform has produced more than 50,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day to become the Gulf of Mexico's highest production rate well in history. Halliburton Energy Services is a business unit of Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL).
Located in 3,800 feet of water, the well has out-produced the previous record-setting well by almost 4,000 barrels per day. Using Halliburton's seawater-based Delta FracPacSM service, Stim Star personnel performed the treatment at a rate of 38 bbl/min through two flexible hoses connected to the rig, putting 95,000 pounds of proppant into the formation. In addition, the 8-5/8-inch gravelpack packer and downhole service tools were custom designed for Shell Ursa by HES' Carrollton, Texas facility.
"We are pleased to be able to work with Shell to achieve these kinds of results," said Edgar Ortiz, president, Halliburton Energy Services. "The cutting-edge technology provided by both Shell and HES makes deepwater projects more feasible."
Halliburton Energy Services provides products, services, and integrated solutions for oil and gas exploration, development and production. In 1949, Halliburton (then known as Halliburton Oil Well Cementing Company), performed the first commercial fracturing job in the energy industry.
Founded in 1919, Halliburton Company is the world's leading diversified energy services, engineering, construction, maintenance, and energy equipment company. In 1998, Halliburton's combined revenues totaled $17.4 billion.
Delta FracPac is a service mark of Halliburton Company.
