Collaborative effort results in the first wireline tractor closing of frac sleeves in half the time for three wells in Kazakhstan. CHALLENGE – When Karachaganak Petroleum Operating (KPO) was selecting a completion technology for three of their wells in Kazakhstan, they chose Halliburton solutions that provided interventionless multistage fracturing operation. During the operation, the RapidShift® system sleeves needed to be shifted. Using conventional coiled...
Case Studies
Case Study: Innovative Perforation Application Helps Production Excel
Halliburton’s innovative perforation application overcame excessive formation damage and boosted anticipated production by 313%. CHALLENGE – An onshore, cased-hole, and perforated oil wellbore located in the Ecuadorian rainforest had a damaged formation and low bottom-hole pressure leading to excessive losses with depleted intervals and sub-average production rates. The operator needed alternatives for bypassing the damage and an perforation application that could perforate a...
Case Study: Coiled Tubing Integration Saves Money for Mexican Client
Halliburton provided optimization of stimulation fluids in real time using distributed temperature sensing with coiled tubing.
Case Study: Deepwater Offshore Mexico – Unconventional Reamer Solution
Enlarging a hole using an unconventional reamer solution saved a Halliburton client time and money while achieving excellent hole quality in deepwater offshore Mexico. CHALLENGE – Working in deepwater wells in Mexico provided one operator pressure drop and flow requirement constraints. These types of constraints require drilling a vertical hole with a rotary steerable system and enlarging the hole while doing it. They...
Case Study: Deepwater Gulf of Mexico – Huge Savings for Operators
Accomplishing in less than 8 hours what a competitor couldn’t do required a fast, accurate and safe solution for a Halliburton client in deepwater Gulf of Mexico. CHALLENGE – An operator working in the Gulf of Mexico was completing a deepwater well when they encountered stuck pipe that stalled operations, causing non-productive time (NPT) at a significant cost to the operations. They needed...
Case Study: Old Romanian Wells Need Increased Production
Six months of collaborative planning and modeling result in safe job execution and a large production increase for a Halliburton client. CHALLENGE – OMV Petrom in Romania had a number of aging wells with declining production. They were experiencing low reservoir pressure, clogged perfs and proximity of the perfs to the bottom of the well. They needed a collaborative solution that would increase production...
Case Study: New Technology Saves Client Time in the Colorado DJ-Basin
Halliburton used new technology to increase perforating efficiency and optimize stimulation for our client in the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) basin. CHALLENGE – Synergy Resources in Colorado, United States, needed to avoid additional coiled tubing gun runs, increase proppant placement and reduce water consumption while drilling and completing wells in the DJ basin. SOLUTION – In an innovative performance, Halliburton deployed three new technologies: Pump-Down...
Case Study: Coring System Without Jamming in Oklahoma
Halliburton’s RockStrong™ Coring system delivered record-setting 693 ft of continuous formation material without jamming, minimizing overall time. CHALLENGE – A major operator in Oklahoma, United States, needed to obtain continuous core lengths without jamming, improve operational efficiency and sample recovery rates, and acquire samples in a cost-effective way, while minimizing overall time in their formation. SOLUTION – In a record-setting performance, Halliburton deployed...
Case Study: Canadian Client Needed Reliable Zonal Isolation
The time-saving solution saved the operator an estimated $20,000 and allowed them to quickly move forward with stimulating the well. CHALLENGE – A major operator in Canada wanted to use multistage stimulation to optimize production in their 8,800 ft openhole horizontal lateral. Well conditions required a completion system that could withstand well temperatures up to 185°F/85°C, was robust enough to traverse long 90 degree...
