Background
Petrozeit needed to dissolve the accumulated hydrocarbon deposits and clean up the wellbores in three wells located in the Ras El Ush field. The treatment included a perforation wash and matrix stimulation treatment, which used a mixture of solvents and acid that worked well with the perforation wash. By monitoring temperature, downhole parameters, and nodal analysis and skin evaluation measurements in real time, ongoing analysis could be conducted to ensure efficient placement of the treatment.
