Over $3MM Savings Achieved Using Hydra-Blast® Pro Service
Specific Challenge
Scale Removal of a 13,000 ft well, allowing production to resume
REGION
Middle East
Challenge
Due to water production, acid insoluble scale accumulated, plugging a 13,000 ft well
Production decline had been observed due to the scale choking
Scale had also restricted the SSSV from working which posed a safety concern for any workover operation
Solution
Slow rotating Hydra-Blast® Pro Service provided customized chemical packages, cleaning heads, and specialized software that predicted optimum nozzle, fluid and treatment selection
Result
Halliburton’s coiled tubing intervention solution was proposed as an alternative to changing the well completion - alternative option would have cost over $4MM with +/- 25 days of deferred production
Halliburton’s solution was executed in 5 days with a total cost (including the rig cost) of $1MM
No formation damage resulted as well was not killed
