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 operating at an efficiency of 63.9%.

Wellflux, through its annular injection technique, demonstrated a 56.8% decrease in torque within 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 of the pump and upsize the 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%.
