“Everyone’s always looking for a better way, save money and increase opportunity to make money,” said Jamie Mitchell, vice president, pumping services at Bosque Systems.
“If you’re not doing that for your customers, you’re not doing business right,” he said.
The company’s latest technology, designed to restimulate legacy wells and make them profitable again, known as Well Shock, has earned the company the Hearst Energy Award for Technology.
Its development “came out of customers pulling us in that direction,” said Clane LaCrosse, Bosque founder, president and chief executive officer.
He said the company’s foundation in the Permian Basin is “how we help our customers reuse water.”
Mitchell said research began with saltwater disposal wells.
“We looked for ways to enhance flooding and enhance oil recovery on the backside,” he said.What they found with Well Shock was that it not only restimulates legacy oil well production but decreases pressure and increases injectivity in injection wells and impaired saltwater disposal wells through a combination of Bosque’s DIONIX technology, pressure pumping and traditional acidization.
That mixture of technology is most effective, he said, noting that one customer used the technology on 600 wells.
LaCrosse said that success is showing up in increased production for customers.
“We had wells producing 1,000 barrels a day then went down to 200 barrels a day. After Well Shock, production went back up to 900 barrels a day,” he said.
Mitchell said some production increases are still in place nine months after the Well Shock technology was used. But he said the success depends on the specifics of the formation.
“You can’t go back in and create something that’s not there,” he said. “I had one customer tell me, ‘If you can save me just two months of what I would have spent on remediation, you’ve won.’”
