  • Patent number: 11884877
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for removing fouling in carbonate reservoirs and/or depleted reservoirs by adding carbon dioxide to industrial or desulphated water to produce carbonic acid, in producing well stimulation operations, to be used as a weak acid for removing fouling in remote operation aiming at keeping the productivity of producing wells and lessening the need for remote operations with stimulation vessel, and therefore reducing operating costs.

  • Publication number: 20230131679
    Abstract: The present invention presents a method of automatic characterization and removal of marks and pad artifacts in ultrasonic images of reservoir wells. The method demonstrates the effectiveness of automatic characterization of this noise and its removal by modeling a two-dimensional square wave signal, periodic in the angular axis of the image, and includes: the obtention of the average curve of the one-dimensional power spectrum of the well image for the automatic detection of the artifact noise frequency response peak; the derivation of the geometric parameters of the signal of the artifacts by means of the frequency peak estimated in the previous step; the automatic modeling of the signal of the artifact as a periodic square wave using the parameters obtained in the previous steps; the processing of the original image using the square wave model filter obtained in the previous step.

  • Publication number: 20220372848
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for use of desulphated injection water from offshore platforms for utilization in inhibition squeeze operations. The system is capable of increasing the treatment capacity by joining the pumping system from the stimulation vessel with the water injection system from the offshore platform. In the initial treatment step, according to the method of this invention, the fluid containing the inhibitor is pumped exclusively by the vessel, followed by an aqueous overflush, where the injection water is mixed with part of the inhibitor cushion pumped by the stimulation vessel.

  • Publication number: 20220306928
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of applying incrustation inhibitor in completion fluids inside a reservoir in order to ensure the flow of well production. The present invention can be applied in throughout the well area, being directed to the reservoir areas for the management of incrustation and in the elevation and outflow areas, it will work to ensure the flow of production from the wells. It may also be applied as part of the technology used in the construction of wells in the completion phase in the operations to combat loss of circulation as part of the technology used in the completion fluids, it merely being necessary to plan for the addition of the inhibitor chemical product in the manufacture of the completion fluid.
