HALLIBURTON PERFORMS FIRST H2ZERO™ CONFORMANCE SOLUTION JOB IN NORTH AMERICA
DALLAS, Texas - Halliburton Company's (NYSE: HAL) Energy Services Group recently successfully completed the first application of its H2Zero™ conformance solution in the Gulf of Mexico. The solution was applied to an Exxon-Mobil-operated well in the Mississippi Canyon Field, which had previously been shut-in due to excess water production. The 96% reduction in the Water-to-Gas Ratio (WGR) greatly exceeded the expected, or "most likely", results of 50%. With the successful reduction to the WGR, the well has now been brought back on line.
Controlling the placement of the solution in what has historically been a difficult environment to do so (a gravel pack completion) was a critical component of the overall process at the Gulf of Mexico field. Employing a novel approach with the utilization of a temporary plug to protect the productive gas interval, Halliburton then used coiled tubing to place the treatment. Afterwards, the plug was successfully removed.
"We are very excited about the continued success of our conformance solutions," said Edgar Ortiz, president and chief executive officer, Halliburton's Energy Services Group. "Unwanted water and gas production and disposal can be a huge problem globally, with most wells producing more water than oil. The ability to control unwanted water and gas insitu can mean the difference between an economic well and a plugged one. Combining Halliburton's reservoir understanding and innovative placement techniques with our conformance solutions such as the H2Zero solution is increasing the economical life of reservoirs."
Originally developed for the North Sea, the H2Zero solution is an environmentally sensitive polymer system that provides exceptional capabilities for controlling unwanted water and gas production. It is the only system that has performed consistently at higher temperature ranges, up to 3000°F.
