Special Report
Case studies for Independent Producers
Thorough research and design increased the probability that a gel-polymer water shut-off treatment of a Tensleep producer at Teapot Dome would be successful.
St. James Oil Corp. used a combination hydrochloric/ phosphonic acid stimulation treatment in four wells in the Los Angeles Downtown oil field to improve well performance and inhibit calcium carbonate scaling.
Pioneer Natural Resources, with support from Gemini Solutions, Inc., used quick-turnaround, PC-based reservoir simulation to evaluate infill horizontal development in the tight gas Edward formation in Pawnee field, Bee County, Texas.
Seven-page feature by World Oil and PTTC presents four case-history review of recent, successfully applied, field and/or production enhancing technologies
Treatments with biological stimulation fluids effectively repaired reservoir damage caused by polymer fluids in two wells.
