Paraffin or Wax issues, we have the solution. Corrosion or Erosion issues, Service is Our Solution.
Check out ZEROCOR Tubulars’ Case Study and read how our ZCor100 coated tubing has proven success with an 85% Cost Reduction in OPEX.
CASE STUDY: Scaling and Waxing Prevention ZCor100
85% Cost Reduction in OPEX – Montney Formation
A major operator in the Montney Formation having consistent paraffin and wax issues came to ZEROCOR Tubulars for a ‘solution’. The operator on average spent approximately $30,000/month on workover costs. The well-site has limited access which caused them to lease a wireline unit to be placed on site permanently. Paraffin and wax issues also caused the operator cost over runs because of winter access and downtime.
Operators in the Montney Formation are actively developing their land position in the heart of the volatile oil window in
NW Alberta for areas such as Gold Creek, Karr, and Simonette.
Overview:
- Completion: 2 3/8 (60.33mm) L-80 Production Tubing with ZCor100
- Location: NE British Columbia, NW Alberta
- Deployment: Montney Formation
- Reservoir: Stratigraphical Unit of Lower Triassic
- OIP: 125 billion barrels of oil
- Operator: Mid-size E&P in Canada
Objectives:
- Confirm depth of where the deposits (wax) are forming and causing blockage in production
- Reduce interventions into well-bore and allow for unrestricted flow of production
- Reduce operational downtime and unnecessary cost for additional site equipment
Results:
- 85% Cost Reduction in OPEX
- By dropping the friction coefficient (0.187) in the tubing, the operator reduces scale/wax deposits from collecting
- Reduction in chemical cost programs
- Enabled stranded shut-in wells to become ‘economic’
- Reduced downtime by 100%
- Pay-back in approximately ‘Month 1’
