Case study
Fishbones Jetting brings on the oil from well that never previously flowed
CASE STUDY

• December 2016 installation

• Middle East naturally fractured limestone formation
~20-200mD matrix permeability, 20-40% porosity

• Existing well, acid stimulated three times prior

• Well would not flow despite stimulation efforts
• Acid treatments resulted in overgauge hole
• Water zones above and below
• Low fluid level (500m TVD)

Case study
Fishbones Jetting brings on the oil from well that never previously flowed

• Installation went according to plan

• 220 bbls of 15% HCl blend pumped
• Well now naturally flows @ average
300 BPD gross, 60 BPD net
• Operator planning next well

Carbonate installation increases PI 30X
CASE STUDY

• JCR installation #1, April 2014

• Tight limestone formation in the Austin Chalk, Texas
+/-5% porosity, +/-0.5mD permeability

• Horizontal well, 6.5” open hole

• 15 ea. Fishbones Jetting subs
• 60 laterals created, 5 hrs total pumping time

Results
2.5 years sustained increased production after Fishbones stimulation

"The fact we even saw

communication from an
offset well (B zone) to the
Fishbones well (A zone)
indicates that some of the
Fishbone needles likely found
their way up into the B zone
to establish a conduit.“,

Fishbones Drilling installation in subsea well
CASE STUDY

• Statoil, Offshore Norway, July 2015

• New well in tight sandstone formation
• 2012m / 6600ft horizontal section
• 8.5” open hole with 5.5” liner
• 48 ea. Fishbones Drilling subs – 144 laterals
• SPE-180390

Key value drivers

• Accurate stimulation – Risk of fracturing into gas zone below with conventional fracturing
• Internal barriers in reservoir – Need to be penetrated for increased reservoir contact
• Sand strength – Competent and consolidated sandstone requiring no sand control
• Low risk - The downside risk assessed to be limited
Simfish reservoir simulator

• Developed by Fenix Consulting Delft

• Uses Sintef MRST simulator
• Fishbones vs. Open hole
• Estimates rates, PI increase and
incremental production
• Producers and injectors
• Oil, dry gas and water injectors

• Generates Eclipse compatible
