Hydraulic Fracturing Services
Hydraulic fracturing services are used to force sand or artificial proppants in a gel or other viscous solution down the wellbore and into the producing formation. At the completion of the fracturing process, production rates are usually enhanced substantially, thus increasing the rate of return for the operator. Such services are typically performed at high flow rates and extreme pressures.
Acidizing
Acidizing services involve the injection of highly reactive, low ph (such as hydrochloric acid) solutions into the area where the hydrocarbons enter the well bore. Acidizing is the most common means of reducing near-wellbore damage, as it dissolves and dilutes contaminants which have accumulated and are restricting flow of hydrocarbons from a reservoir toward the wellbore, thus increasing well productivity. Acid is also used in conjunction with hydraulic fracturing as a spearhead fluid.
