No "Bull" Just EXCITE: Boosting Production Recovery Through Innovative Formation Damage Treatment
As oil and gas wells age, they often encounter formation damage that reduces productivity and increases operational costs. Traditional solutions, such as bullheading chemical treatments from the surface, can provide a temporary boost in production but ultimately fail to address the root cause of the formation damage.
Enter EXCITE, a downhole, hydraulically activated system that uses a data-driven process to restore and sustain productivity of sub-par producing wells. This innovative solution leverages historical experience and analytical methods to evaluate the combination of candidate selection, wellbore cleanout methods, chemical treatment selection, and retreatment methods that provide the best economic returns.
Several field case studies demonstrate the effectiveness of EXCITE in eliminating formation damage and achieving sustained production recovery. In one instance, the production of a horizontal well in the Midland Basin dropped by 50% in just 75 days after the initial completion. HCL acid was initially bullheaded down the backside of the production string, but the production fell below the original levels a month later. Subsequent treatment with EXCITE achieved a 100% sustained production recovery.
As a fully hydraulically activated system, EXCITE significantly increases operational reliability and reduces downtime. The system ensures adequate coverage and fluid penetration into the formation, and the focused delivery of the designed treatment ensures damage removal and provides the basis for the observed sustained production recovery.
