Enhanced Oil Recovery Using Dynamic Shock Wave System
Implementation of the Dynamic Shock Wave System (DSWS) to stimulate mature oil wells and enhance production without chemical injections.
Client & Location
A local oil field operator in the Western Desert region of Egypt.(2023)
Challenges
Declining production rates in aging wells due to high viscosity, reservoir blockages, and low permeability, leading to underutilized reserves.
Our Solution
Deployment of the DSWS technology, which generates controlled dynamic shock waves to improve reservoir permeability, reduce fluid viscosity, and mobilize trapped oil. The system was integrated with real-time monitoring sensors for precise application, ensuring minimal environmental impact and no need for hydraulic fracturing fluids.
Key Achievements
1
Production increase
35% (from 500 to 675 barrels per day)
2
ROI
Achieved in 8 months through higher output and lower maintenance costs
3
Operational cost reduction
20% by avoiding chemical treatments and reducing downtime
4
Environmental benefits
No chemical usage, leading to lower emissions and compliance with regional regulations
