Paper: PREVENTING TUBING FAILURES AND LIQUID LOADING IN HORIZONTAL WELLS

Many production companies in the Haynesville Shale formation have experienced production tubing problems like corrosion and scaling. They also expect to see liquid loading problems due to the water left after fracturing. Most of the frac jobs in the Haynesville Shale use at least 40,000 bbls of water per stage. The Haynesville Shale is typically 10,000 feet below the surface and about 200 feet thick. The reservoir has a bottom hole pressure of approximately 9000 psi and a bottom hole temperature in the range of 250_
