Fracturing Chemicals
Oil Well Stimulation is a broad term encompassing a diverse range of operations conducted on the wellbore or reservoir with the aim of enhancing productivity and maximizing extraction efficiency. These operations typically involve techniques such as hydraulic fracturing, acid fracturing, matrix stimulation, and wellbore cleaning.
Hydraulic Fracturing and Acid Fracturing are two key methods used in oil well stimulation. In these processes, various fluids and materials are injected into the well at controlled rates to induce cracking or fracturing of the reservoir formation. This creates pathways for enhanced fluid flow from remote areas of the reservoir to the wellbore, extending over significant distances, often exceeding several hundred feet.
The implementation of hydraulic and acid fracturing techniques has proven to be highly effective in boosting oil and gas production, even in formations with low permeability such as milli and micro-Darcy formations. Recent advancements in fracturing technology, particularly in Unconventional formations like shale oil and gas, have brought about a transformative shift in the industry.
The choice of fracturing fluid is influenced by various factors, including the permeability of the formation, the rock type (carbonate, sandstone, shale), and the Bottom Hole temperature. Conventional formations typically utilize guar-gum based fluids, while polyacrylamide based fluids are preferred for fracturing unconventional formations. Each system has a distinct chemical composition tailored to the specific requirements of the reservoir.
