Integrated oilfield stimulation services

Rystad's production enhancement services are not limited to providing chemicals; they also offer an integrated solution covering diagnosis, design, construction, and evaluation.


I. Production Enhancement Technology Matrix


(1) Reservoir geomechanical assessment

The geostress field is analyzed by using logging data and core experiments to accurately predict the direction of fracture extension.

Identify natural fracture zones and geological weak areas, and optimize the fracturing design to avoid penetrating the water layer or triggering earthquakes.


(2) Optimal design of hydraulic fracturing

Personalized design: Based on geological models and stress fields, optimize perforation schemes, pumping procedures (the proportion and volume of pre-fluid, sand-carrying fluid, and replacement fluid), and proppant placement profiles.

Fluid selection: We offer a variety of fracturing fluid systems such as sliding water, linear gel, and cross-linked gel, and recommend corresponding additives like drag reducers, discharge AIDS, and anti-swelling agents.

Proppant selection: From conventional quartz sand to medium and high-strength ceramsite, we provide customers with the best proppant solutions based on closing pressure and economy.


(3) Acidification stimulation service

Matrix acidification: It is used to remove pollution near the wellbore, adopting formulas such as soil acid and organic acid optimized based on core flow experiments.

Acid fracturing: In carbonate rock reservoirs, flow diversion fractures are created, and advanced technologies such as viscous fingering and self-redirecting acid are adopted to achieve uniform deep acid distribution.


(4) Increase production in the later stage of production

Water blocking and profile control: For high-water-cut old oil fields, we provide gel, granular and other blocking agents to seal the high-permeability water flow channels and improve the displacement efficiency.

Wellbore treatment: We offer mechanical and chemical wax removal and scale removal services to restore the flow capacity of the wellbore.


Ii. Digital Transformation


(1) By using the Fracturing Real-time Optimization Center (FROC), the pumping program is adjusted in real time during the construction process based on data such as wellhead pressure and microseismic conditions to ensure the optimal fracturing effect.

(2) Apply the production data analysis platform to compare the production curves before and after the production increase measures, quantitatively evaluate the effect of the measures (such as net present value NPV, payback period, etc.), and provide decision support for subsequent Wells.


PETRONOC offers an integrated solution for acid pressure completion throughout the entire process, focusing on the stimulation and transformation of carbonate and sandstone reservoirs. Our services integrate international advanced technologies with local operation experience, which can increase the production of a single well by 50% to 300%.
