Tool Enables Boost in Brownfield Production

摘要

Traditional well-construction techniques relying on cementing or mechanical isolation systems for primary zonal isolation can often fail in brownfield developments.Or,they are unable to fulfill requirements for zonal isolation across complex,multilayered formations that may contain depleted,overpressurized fluids or gas/water zones lying ahead of the target oil sand.Swell packers are an enabling technology that is allowing production from wells that otherwise would not have been feasible either technically or economically.Easy Well's packer technology consists of a standard oilfield tubular with an elastomer bonded along its length.The packer uses hydrocarbon to swell the elastomer downhole.The packer has no moving parts and requires no service tools,dropping of balls,hydraulic actuation,or surface/downhole manipulation to set it.Any number of packers are simply made up in the completion or casing string and deployed in a single trip into the well.
