Powerwave has been employed in three injection wells for 24 months to improve oil recovery from this field. Excellent results have been realized from the significant production and economic oil volume benefits that have been realized during this period:
Overall Project Results: 68% drop in Oil Production Decline. Oil production decline from the three production patterns dropped from a pre Powerwave value of 3.4% per month to 1.1% per month with Powerwave. This represents a 68% reduction in the decline rate.
170% Increase in Oil Production. Oil production from three production patterns (16 oil production wells) increased by 85 barrels of oil per day over the established base production decline trend of 50 barrels of oil per day. Over 51,700 barrels of incremental oil to date has been attributed to the Powerwave installations. 240% Increase in Oil Cut. The average oil cut after 24 months of Powerwave stimulation has increased to 3.54% compared to 1.05% on the previously established decline trend.
