Asset Development
Re-entry & Completion Technology
-
Re-entry technology is an ideal consideration for assets that do not justify drilling a new well
-
Intermediate radius horizontal re-entry technology is a proven alternative to hydraulic fracturing
-
Non-damaging water-based fluids used to protect the reservoir
-
Flexible completion options available to suit the formation requirements and development strategies
-
Comparatively high IPs observed from using our innovative drilling and completion techniques
Shale Techniques
-
Horizontal/highly deviated wellbores for the Monterey are perhaps even more successful than fracking without having to deal with the regulatory hurdles of SB4 now in place.
-
Monterey shale frac results have been unpredictable and mostly uneconomical to-date: Rock is found to be much more ductile than the brittle shales found in the mid-continent.
-
Orient horizontal or highly-deviated well trajectories to intersect more of the native fracture network - We understand the typical azimuthal trend of the native fractures based on extensive 3D seismic surveys and borehole imaging.
-
We use completion techniques that provide the highest IP and the lowest skin factor without the need for stimulation.

Petrojen emphasizes low cost well designs due to unpredictable production performance.
