Advantages

Aside from the evident usefulness of this tool, its high quality, quick response and the benefits for our customers, it is a service that minimizes operational costs, more specifically those arising from the various optimization procedures implemented during approximately six months and more in one single well.

By its very nature, stimulating the well with elastic vibrations has a low complexity level and the frequency range used is environmentally safe, it does not cause any damage onto any of the well’s elements or fittings.

The effects that this technology produces in a well are: increased production and injection in the deepest zones of the well, and the treatment of salts and chemical sediments in the tubing, production of heavy oils, effects in non-productive or marginally productive Wells, treatment of the salt, paraffins, hydrates producing pipe (among others).

- Optimization of the EOR methods.

- Stimulation of Wells through the use of vibrating waves that affect both the rock as well as the fluids

- Increased pore size and existing fractures in the reservoir

- Reduction of the influence of the water and gas phases in the oil filtrate

- Increased production and effectiveness of injection over 50% additional and a 90% success rate

Ultrasound well stimulation

The HAT technology is well suited for application in projects connected to EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) based on stimulating Wells with Ultrasound (Hydro-acoustic Tool).
 
The Hydro acoustic technology is a tool originally developed in Russia in 1987 of which the objective is to stimulate Wells based on the vibration fracturing theory whereby the waves created reach both the rock as well as the fluids present in the reservoir thus giving way almost instantaneously to increased production that may last up to six months.

Target zones are stimulated with elastic type vibrations. This technology may be used together with other enhanced recovery methods.

Uses
