Improving Production in Depleted Wells: A Case Study
Case study: Learn how an operator in South America increased production in a mature oil field while reducing the carbon footprint.

An operator in South America wanted to hydraulically fracture a mature oil field to increase production. When performing fracturing jobs during workover operations, the high permeability of the depleted wells made them prone to formation damage. Part of the strategy to improve production included implementing the Hiway Flex™ customizable flow-channel fracturing technology to maximize the proppant pack permeability by creating highly conductive fracture channels. Learn how this enabled increasing the operator's production while reducing the carbon footprint.
