Hi-Flow® Process Increases Well Flow Rate And Acts As A Temporary Flow Back Handling System

In an effort to increase the flow rate through a well in the Gulf of Mexico and ultimately unload the well, a major operator required a means to increase the flow rate from 500 barrels of total fluids per day to at least 2,000 barrels per day.

The operator required a system that could simultaneously increase the flow rate through the well while ensuring the resulting wastewater met strict overboard discharge criteria.

Additionally, it was stipulated that the system had to be able to handle a minimum of 2,000 barrels of water per day in order to unload the well successfully.

After two weeks of trying to increase the flow rate without success, the operator contacted CETCO Oilfield Services to deliver and install a temporary flow back water management system to increase the flow rate and ultimately unload the well.

Assessing the needs of the operator, CETCO Oilfield Services devised and deployed its Hi-Flow® technology to act as a temporary flow back water handling system.
