  • Integrated methods for reducing formation breakdown pressures to enhance petroleum recovery
    Patent number: 11846166
    Abstract: A method of increasing hydrocarbon recovery from a wellbore in a tight formation with greater breakdown pressures, the method including using hydro-jetting to effect a plurality of oriented cavities or discoidal grooves in the horizontal portion of the wellbore to overcome near-wellbore stresses, injecting a thermally controlled fluid into the wellbore to alter the temperature of the formation and lower stresses, and then fracturing the formation to generate a series of fractures that can be formed in a planar formation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 15, 2022
    Date of Patent: December 19, 2023
    Inventors: Misfer Almarri, Waheed Syed Arshad, Adel Ali Al-Qahtani
