Develop an innovative way to frac under HPHT tight gas sandstone conditions

REGION - SAUDI ARABIA REGION - SAUDI ARABIA

Northwestern Saudi Arabia

Challenge

  • High pressure and high temperature (HPHT) stimulation challenge in a new field 
  • Reservoir temperature of 375°F (191°C)
  • Develop an innovative way to frac under these HPHT tight gas sandstone conditions
  • Stimulate and and prove the reserves of the tight gas formations

Solution

  • The DeepQuest® HT fluid system which can perform under extreme conditions

Result

  • The job was performed flawlessly
  • 16.4 barrels per minute pumped at 21,000-psi bottomhole treating pressure
  • 80,000 gallons of the gel system pumped
  • More than 150,000 pounds of proppant placed

Challenge

Saudi Aramco faced a high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) stimulation challenge in a new field, with a 375°F (191°C) reservoir temperature and more than 15,000 psi required for fracturing. Developing an innovative way to frac under these HPHT tight gas sandstone conditions was crucial to Saudi Aramco for stimulating and proving the reserves of the tight gas formations in northwestern Saudi Arabia.

Halliburton Solution

Halliburton worked with experts in Duncan, Oklahoma and Houston, Texas to develop the DeepQuest® HT fluid system to perform under these extreme conditions.
