OpenPath Reach Service Cuts Polymer Gel by 60% to Stimulate Carbonate Production, Kazakhstan
Summary
An operator in Kazakhstan improved oil production from a hot limestone formation by replacing conventional polymer-gelled acid with OpenPath Reach's single-phase retarded acid system, optimizing stimu...
Value Drivers
Challenges
- Optimize oil production from a hot limestone formation by maintaining matrix stimulation rates and minimizing polymer-gelled acid.
- Lack of real-time visibility into operations
1 more challenges available
Solutions
- Designed and delivered an OpenPath Reach extended-contact stimulation service using single-phase retarded acid system with SDA self-diverting acid or VDA viscoelastic diverting acid.
Outcomes
- Stimulated a production increase from 0 to 35 m3/d [0 to 220 bbl/d].
- Achieved 24/7 real-time visibility and monitoring
- Successfully scaled operations to support 3x growth
- Decreased operational costs by 40% annually
