Customizable acid stimulation service

OpenPath Flex service for high-temperature well acidizing

Overview

Enhance acidizing efficacy

Flexible fluid treatment designs result in a retarded acid system that uses an unprecedented concentration range of HCl for deeper, more even coverage.

Accelerate flowback

Reduced total solids and chloride content promote superior flowback performance and reduced flaring time.

Maximize production

Tailored acid formulations optimize reservoir contact—even in wells previously deemed inoperable due to high temperatures.

Stimulate hot carbonate reservoirs

The high reaction rate of HCl in hot environments limits acid penetration and reservoir contact. Because of this, heterogeneous high-temperature carbonate reservoirs were considered poor candidates for well acidizing treatments—until now. OpenPath Flex™ customizable acid stimulation service optimizes stimulation performance and operational efficiency in even the most challenging carbonate reservoirs.

Applications

Onshore and offshore carbonate formations
Acid fracturing
Matrix stimulation
Bullheading and coiled tubing pumping
Cased hole and openhole completions

Benefits
