A Lloydminster Case Study

 

The Challenges:

  • Torqued out
  • High fluid level
  • Moderate sand cut
  • Constricted flow

Producing at a rate of 22.5m3 per day, this Lloydminster vertical CHOPS well was equipped with a pump opening at an efficiency of 63.9%.

Wellflux, through its annular injection technique, demonstrated a 56.8% decrease in torque within mere days of treatment.  The torque reduction has since been sustained for over 90 days and has improved the oil rate by 169%.

The Results:

Torque Reduction of

56%

Wellflux reduced torque by 56.8% within a few days. Torque has remained steady while the client was able to increase the speed pump and upsize pump to further optimize the well.

Pump Speed Increase

69%

With a pump speed baseline of 170 rpm, the 56.8% torque reduction Wellflux provided increased pump speed by up to 288 rpm while decreasing fluid level.

Production Increase of

169%

By reducing torque and improving pump efficiency, Wellflux increased net oil production from 22.5 m3/day to 59.0 m3/day with a sand rate of 5.7%.
