| AbrasiFRAC* – AN INNOVATIVE SERVICE FOR EFFICIENT ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY |
 |
Evaluation of daily hydraulic fracturing operations in multizone reservoirs of
Priobskoye oil field revealed enormous potential for efficiency rise in frac cycle
and reduction of completion time.
Priobskoye oil field is represented by three operated reservoirs ÀÑ12, ÀÑ11 and
ÀÑ10 which, in most of the cases, are split into interlayers and on average 3–4
intervals of each well are subject to production enhancement.
The AbrasiFRAC* service has been introduced by Schlumberger as an efficient way
to reduce frac cycle time and completion time required to put the well into production.
AbrasiFRAC* appears to be a progressive combination of two services: hydraulic
fracturing and coiled tubing with a modern BHA - perforator AbrasiJET*, which
allows jet perforating with abrasive material pumped through CT workstring,
placement of proppant for temporary zonal isolation (if needed), nitrogen kick
off and wellbore cleanout after stimulation of multiple intervals. Since packer
is not employed in AbrasiFRAC* operations, it is necessary that premium casing
is being used, for instance grade E instead of grade D widely used in Western
Siberia. full text of the article | all articles of this issue
