Across the world, production has gone past peak oil. With increasing demand and depleting reserves, every oil company is seeking to maximise production. In mature oil fields, many wells are no longer producing, ie they are idle or producing little oil, not necessarily due to depleting reserves, but due to declining reservoir pressure. Continuous efforts are, therefore, needed to ensure the production from these fields is maximised and the optimum amount of recoverable oil is extracted from these reservoirs.
What is Production Enhancement?
Production Enhancement is an innovative solution that utilises the well unloading concept, using standard well testing equipment. It is unique as it uses existing equipment repackaged as a new solution.
The well unloading packages handle low pressure production, boosting the oil and gas flow rates and processing them for reintroduction into the operator’s process plant facilities.
Our well unloading packages are flexible and mobile, allowing easy re/deployment. A single unloading package can tie in multiple wells, giving enhanced productivity.
Well unloading units are used on production platforms where the natural pressure of the well has declined to an extent where it cannot flow into the production facilities without assistance.
Utilising the same equipment as well testing, with the addition of high pressure high volume pumps and gas compressors, we can locate equipment on the production platform, connect to the pressure depleted wells and allow them to flow at low pressure into our separation facilities where gas can be flared, vented or compressed and re-injected and liquids can be re-injected into the production facilities by use of high pressure pumps.
There are distinct advantages of utilising well unloading units. These are:
Continued production from a well which would not be able to deliver naturally, increased production equals increased revenues.
Ability to tie multiple wells into one well unloading unit, no need for multiple downhole electrical submersible pumps.
Flexibility – can be moved from well to well and platform to platform.
Cost effective – no need to supply a rig or cranebarge for any installations.
Typically the well unloading units are placed on a platform and remain there constantly, occasionally adding additional wells and assisting in ensuring that production targets are met.
Through our Expro PTI team, we have a strong reputation for delivery of well unloading packages in timescales that are unmatched. Our capabilities and operational reliability optimize operator productivity.
