Changing The Game In The Stimulation of Thick Carbonate Gas Reservoirs

In this paper we present details of the approach utilized to optimize the completion and stimulation campaign in the continued development of a large gas carbonate field in the Middle East. A new acid diverter was deployed along with a revised placement model, field calibrated to more accurately predict treatment pressure responses, to optimize treatment design and to maximize diversion in this layered reservoir. Results presented include typical stimulation treatment plots alongside model post treatment pressure history matches, pre and post stimulation production logs, clean up data and well test interpretations. We also present details on how this new approach facilitated the execution of simultaneous drilling and well intervention operations.
