SurgiFrac was selected as the stimulation method to enable targeted placement of treatments, utilizing dynamic diversion to provide pressure isolation
Specific Challenge
PinPoint Stimulation to restore gas production
REGION - UAE
United Arab Emirates
Challenge
A gas producer well in the UAE was completed with a 7,000 ft horizontal section, that required a stimulation treatment to restore production
Bypassed pay remains accessible
The lateral is an open hole, making selective placement of stimulation intervals and limited treatment volumes, critical to bypass the depleted zones
Upper completion casing has a maximum pressure limit of 4,700 psi
Solution
The target stimulation depths were selected based on petrophysical analysis of the logs performed on the open hole
SurgiFrac® was selected as the stimulation method to enable targeted placement of treatments, utilizing dynamic diversion to provide pressure isolation
Primary treatment pumped down the CT string would allow optimal stimulation, not exceeding the surface casing pressure limits
Result
Operation was completed in less time than anticipated by the customer, completing 20 stages in 24 hours
Dynamic diversion enabled the placement of separate targeted stimulation intervals in an open hole completion, bypassing depleted zones
