Scale & Wax Fill Removal
Remove fines, scales, waxes, asphaltenes or other blockages to re- establish and enhance production or injection potential.
Wavefront’s Powerwave SAN cavitational-based fluid pulsing tool utilizes a
hydro-mechanical means to hydraulically create a water hammer effect on the formation
face, tubulars, etc. The high-impact action of the Powerwave Self Adjusting Nozzle
(SAN) removes fines, scales, waxes, asphaltenes or other blockages to re- establish
and enhance production or injection potential.
Powerwave tools generate a high amplitude,
low frequency, dynamic fluid pressure pulse
that causes a momentary elastic flexure of the
pore structure. This pressure pulse moves
fluid into and out of a large number of pore
networks, thereby obtaining a move uniform
injection front and resulting in optimal
placement of fluids for well stimulation and
waterflooding operations.
Powerwave provides for a 50%+ improvement in post-stimulation outcomes over all
other injection approaches. Powerwave achieved an approximate 30% cost savings per
stimulation due to reductions in chemical costs; acid storage tanks; mixing and pumping
time, etc; and increased estimated ultimate recovery by 5% or more.
Wavefront’s Powerwave Odyssey Custom
Stimulation (POCS) adds a dynamic dimension to
well stimulation. Powerwave creates high inertial
fluid momentum which improves the flow efficiency
of the near wellbore region and the reservoir. The
nature of fluid displacement energy ensures that
dynamically pulsed fluid will penetrate the matrix
proximal to where the Odyssey tool is placed.
POCS is ideally suited to optimize the placement of
chemical treatments, production solvents, water, and
combinations thereof. If you can intervene in a
wellbore, you can benefit from Wavefront’s POCS
approach.
