  • Non-fracturing restimulation of unconventional hydrocarbon containing formations to enhance production
    Patent number: 11761315
    Abstract: There is provided system and methods for restimulating a hydrocarbon producing well using water and pressures below the closure pressure, which results in production rates approaching the initial production rate of the well. There is provided multiple restimulation techniques using water based fluids at or below the closure pressure of the well, which results in production rates approach that of the prior rate upon stimulation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 3, 2020
    Date of Patent: September 19, 2023
    Assignee: Borehole Seismic, LLC.
    Inventor: Bo Howell
