Answer to question via email:  "Does this process only reduce produced water?"

Answer: No.  Oil production in some increase has gone from 'won't make a frog eye' to 20 BOPD +, thus the short payout on the jobs.

Shutting off the majority of the water allows the well to be 'pumped down', ie, to show the reservior enough of a pressure drop to mobilize the oil to the wellbore.

A good example is the Chiles Lease on Hwy 2 where we have treated about 1/3 of the lease:  (from http://www.aptpoly.com/results.html)

++++

We began commercial operations in January of 2014.  The best history we have is with the Chiles Lease operated by Telexon just off Highway 2, east of Vivian.

We began work on the lease in February of 2014. Production from January 2011 until February 2014 averaged 692 barrels per month.  From March 2014 until October 2014 has averaged 966 barrels per month.

Our usual decline is 9%/year in the Nacatoch B.  Instead of declining, production is up an incremental 2,189 bbls.

The utility bill on this lease has dropped over $1,500/month due to less produced water to dispose of.  We estimate that we have eliminated about 8,000 bbls/day of produced water while boosting oil output very significantly.  Stroked pumpjacks running at 14 SPM are now running from 3.5-6 SPM on average. 

To confirm or update this data, go to http://sonris.com/sonlite.asp and select "LUW Production By Year" under "Production Information" in the left hand column.  When the new page appears enter LUW Code 045650 and specify the year you are interested in.

Congratulations, Jay.  I look forward to learning more when I get back to work after the holiday.

Thanks Skip,

I'd be pleased to answer any of your questions.  This was a much more involved technology - vastly more trial and error - than the BlackStorm Production System that I have sold and which is now being marketed worldwide.  I'm going to get this one licensed off for other areas as soon as the patents issue, finish up on the oil/water separation technology and call it time to retire and travel for a while.

All best,

Jay

Hello Skip,

I would like to visit with you per your suggestion.  I presume you have my contact information I provided when I signed up for GHS?

At this time we have finished a round of equipment upgrades so we can begin to work for clients in south Arkansas, east Texas and further down into Texas in the Austin area.  I would like to be employing this technology into other markets with the idea of setting up branch operations there (as in the case of central Texas) or enabling someone else to become a licensee.

It sounds as though you have read through the website.  I think there is a point with a large enough job, perhaps through a new set of perfs at the oil/water contact, where the fluid flow regimen to the wellbore shifts from vertical to horizontal and remains in that new equilibrium. We will be doing a couple of those jobs in the next couple of months to see what taking this to the next level might look like.

If you are ever up towards Vivian I would invite you to drop by and watch a job in process, see the results, etc..  A good whiteboard session with a PE would be a lot of fun.

Kind regards,

Jay
