The Challenges:
|
Producing at a rate of 12.0 m3 per day, this Peace River horizontal well exhibited high torque at 660 ft.lbs with a pump speed of only 50 RPM. Wellflux (AI), through its annular injection technique, increased pump speed up to 170 RPM - over 200%. Additionally, the pump speed increase has improved the oil rate by 127.5%. |
| The Results: | |||||
|
Torque Reduction of 50% |
Wellflux reduced torque by 50% within a few days as torque decreased from 660 to 330 ft.lbs. Torque has remained at the optimized level for over a full year. |
Pump Speed Increase 240% |
With a pump speed baseline of 50 rpm, the 50% torque reduction of Wellflux increased PCP speed by up to 170 rpm - more than doubling its original rate. |
Production Increase of 127% |
By reducing torque and increasing pump speed, Wellflux increased net oil production from 12.0 m3/day to 30.0 m3/day. *excludes Wellflux injected |
