BJ Services to provide well stimulation services in Italy
Posted: 23 November 2009
BJ Services has been awarded a contract by Eni S.p.A to carry out a range of well services in Italy.
BJ’s well services team will provide acid stimulation services on a number of wells to maximize the inflow area of the wellbore in oil and gas formations throughout Italy, both onshore and offshore.
"We welcome the opportunity to work on behalf of Eni in Italy. By carrying out matrix stimulation services, we are aiming to achieve maximum penetration," said John Anderson, BJ Services, well services, region manager – Europe & West Africa.
"With our experience in well stimulation services, we are confident that we can maximise the inflow capacity of their wells in such a way that they will operate smoothly, and produce effectively over the long term."
Wells in northern Italy are scheduled to receive post-drilling high-pressure matrix and diversion treatments with high-temperature acid formulations.
In southern Italy, BJ Services anticipates that it will complete numerous large post-drilling stimulation operations in fractured carbonate formations, and a number of organic acid stimulation operations on offshore wells in the Adriatic Sea. BJ has already treated two wells in Villafortuna and Val di Agri.
Acid stimulation services have also been successfully carried out on an HPHT well in a Dolomite formation located at 19,685 ft (6000 m) TVD and 20,341 ft (6200 m) MD.
To complete this project, BJ Services is utilizing new state-of-the-art fracturing equipment, which is permanently based at the company’s facility in Emmen, The Netherlands.
