In most cases, CnF treatment does not require the complete refracturing of existing wells. Instead, the technology uses a coil-tubing unit to facilitate a pump and pressure treatment. The fluid system will not only penetrate the formation’s existing fractures but will also clear blockages caused by clogging particles such as paraffins and asphaltenes. Flotek also offers additional value with its Fracmax database, which the firm uses to identify existing wells that are likely to benefit from CnF remediation.
Recent commodity price trends in the oil and gas sector have led many firms to seek alternatives to new well drilling, targeting opportunities for lowered costs and increased production efficiency instead. An innovation by international oilfield technology developer Flotek is set to expand opportunities for hydraulic fracturing operations in existing unconventional wells. The firm has developed Complex nano-Fluid (CnF) chemistries that will allow oil and gas companies to remediate or restimulate existing wells. When treated with CnF chemistries, wells can experience renewed production levels as high as 70 percent and may even return to their original production capacities. As the cost of well restimulation with CnF technology is far lower than that of drilling a new well, Flotek’s technology presents a cost-effective option for many firms looking to expand production.
