(37) MITIGATING PARAFFIN BUILDUP IN UPTON COUNTY, TEXAS - HARNESSING INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY TO PREVENT PARAFFIN BUILDUP FROM CAUSING AND CONTRIBUTING TO WELL FAILURES

Presenters

Matt Berkebile, Diamondback Energy
Amber Krummel, Revelant
 

Paraffin mitigation has been the subject of many case studies involving various chemical blends, treatment frequencies and in some cases down hole tools. All with varying degrees of success, most leave the operator left managing the issue rather than mitigating it. Struggling to find an effective solution for wells in Upton county, Diamondback set out to find a solution beyond the typical conventions. Establishing a systematic approach, Diamondback found a solution that mitigates paraffin formation, prolongs well run times and ultimately reduces operating expenses for Diamondback wells.
