OSTI ID:6504822
A successful fracture stimulation program in a mature West Texas waterflood is documented in this paper. Amoco's Anton Irish Clearfork Unit (AICFU) has undergone a 100-well fracture stimulation program since 1979 which has resulted in significant increases in oil production. This paper addresses fracture stimulation results, quality control measures, and mechanical considerations in beam or electrical submersible pumping equipment, as well as post appraise the economics associated with the $8 million program.
