Bringing the Heat Aramco Field Tests High-Temperature Chemistry To Slash Tight-Gas Completion Costs

摘要

By turning up the temperatures downhole,you need less of everything up on the surface.This is what is hoped to be proven soon with an experimental chemical technology that is seeing some of its first field tests in Saudi Arabia's emerging tight-gas formations this year.The innovation centers around reactive chemicals known as thermochemi-cals that researchers at Saudi Aramco and King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals(KFUPM)in Dhahran spent most of the past decade developing.
