iii. Notroshooting
iv. De-paraffination
WELL STIMULATION
HYDRAULIC FRACTURING
HYDRAULIC FRACURING:
Objectives
The well is
obstructed by silt,
sediments,
deposits.oil cant flow
to the borehole
HYDRAULIC FRACTURING
Water is
injected at a
very high
pressure
HYDRAULIC FRACTURING
The obstructions
are forced out of
the oil producing
formation. Oil can
now flow freely!
USE OF PROPPANTS
ACIDIZING
WELL STIMULATION:
ACIDIZING
Fluo-silicic Acid
H2 Si F6 + 2Na + Na2Si F6 + 2 H+
H2 Si F6 + 2K + K2Si F6 + 2 H+
Precipitate
HYDROFLUORIC ACID (HF):
Fluo-Aluminic acid
H2 Si F6 + 3Na + -- Na3 Al F6 + 3 H+
H2 Si F6 + 3K + -- K3 Al F6 + 3 H+
i. The insoluble precipitate formed are Na2Si F6 ,
K2Si F6 , Na3 Al F6 ,
K3 Al F6. These fluorides are gelatinous type
materials and occupy a large volume of pore
space. They also adhere strongly to rock
surfaces. The results are very damaging to well
productivity.
HYDROFLUORIC ACID (HF):
NITROSHOOTING
WELL STIMULATION:
NITRO SHOOTING
DE-PARAFFINATION
DEPARAFFINATION
WITH SURFACTANTS
Well Stimulation using surfactants
