Good engineers never stop looking for opportunities to improve the
performance of their production systems. Performance enhancement
methods are always carefully examined, and production data is analyzed
in order to identify determining factors affecting performance.The two
main activities of the production engineer in the petroleum and
related industries are reservoir stimulation and artificial lift. The
classic solution to maximizing a well's productivity is to stimulate
it. The basis for selecting stimulation candidates should be a review
of the well's actual and theoretical IPR. Low permeability wells often
need fracturing on initial completion. In low permeability zones,
additional post stimulation production can be significant to the
economics, however, the production engineer needs to make management
aware of the true long term potential or else overly optimistic
projections can easily be made.The main purpose of stimulation is to
enhance the property value by the faster delivery of the petroleum
fluid and/or to increase ultimate economic recovery. The aim of
reservoir stimulation is to bypass near-wellbore damage and return a
well to its “natural” productivity / injectivity, to extend a
conductive path deep into a formation and thus increase productivity
beyond the natural level and to produce hydrocarbon from tight
formation.The importance of reservoir stimulation is increasing due to
following reasons: • Hydrocarbon fields in their mid-life•
Production in these fields are in declining trend• The thrust area:
Enhancement of productionHence, to improve productivity of the well
matrix stimulation and hydraulic fracturing are intended to remedy, or
even improve, the natural connection of the wellbore with the
reservoir, which could delay the need for artificial lift.This book
presents procedures taken in the Oil & Gas Industry for identifying
well problems, and it suggests means of solving problems with the help
of the Coil Tube unit which is used for improving well productivity
and techniques like Acidizing and Hydraulic Fracturing.
