Chuancheng Well-Downhole Operations Company's H103 well achieves high-yield industrial gas flow.
China National Petroleum Corporation News (Contributed by Mao Jian) – On April 16, after 2 hours and 35 minutes of meticulous operations, the Chuanqing Drilling Downhole Operations Company successfully completed the composite soil acidizing treatment in the Xuni II section of Well H103. The operation involved injecting a total fluid volume of 228.2 cubic meters, with peak pumping pressure reaching 90 MPa and maximum displacement rate at 2.6 cubic meters per minute. Testing conducted on April 21 confirmed an impressive daily industrial gas flow of 800,600 cubic meters. Located in Huaguan Town, Nanbu County, southern Sichuan Province, Well H103 is a rolling evaluation well strategically positioned within the Zhongtaishan structural feature of the Sichuan Basin. The well is designed as a directional well, having been spudded on September 9, 2018, and fully drilled by January 20, 2019, targeting the Xuni I formation at a total depth of 4,550 meters. The primary objective of this acidizing treatment was to gather critical data on the fluid properties, production rates, and reservoir pressures of the Xuni II section, thereby fulfilling the original drilling objectives for this well. During the acidizing process, the team encountered significant challenges due to the wide span and pronounced heterogeneity of the target reservoir section. Additionally, there were no previously treated wells in the Zhongtaishan block’s Xuni II section, and guidance from neighboring areas proved somewhat limited. Despite these obstacles, Chuanqing Downhole Operations Company rigorously adhered to the detailed construction plan, successfully executing the composite soil acidizing treatment across the 92-meter-long perforated interval. This achievement not only underscores the company’s technical expertise but also provides vital support for unlocking high-yield gas flows from the Zhongtaishan structural feature in the Sichuan Basin.

A Behind-the-Scenes Account of Tackling Blockages in Tarim Oilfield's Kuche Mountain-Front Gas Wells
**Issue:** Out of the 25 production wells at the Dina-2 gas field in the Tarim Oilfield, 21 have been diagnosed with "asthma"—a metaphorical term used here to describe severe wellbore blockages. **Cause:** The primary reasons include an incomplete understanding of the nature and mechanisms behind these blockages, inadequate matching of remediation technologies, and ultimately, less-than-ideal results. **Solution:** By shifting from surface-level observations to a deeper, more comprehensive analysis, engineers developed a systematic "1134" approach to tackle wellbore blockages—addressing both the symptoms and root causes simultaneously. **Outcome:** This innovative strategy successfully cleared blockages in 28 wells, proving remarkably effective: every treated well experienced increased production. For instance, as of April 10, the Keshen-805 well, which had been struggling due to severe wellbore blockage, saw its daily natural gas output surge dramatically—from 49,200 cubic meters before intervention to 163,500 cubic meters after continuous coiled tubing operations combined with acid-based wellbore cleaning. Back in late 2017, during the peak winter gas supply period, 21 out of the 25 production wells at the Dina-2 field were affected by varying degrees of foreign-material blockages. Meanwhile, the situation at the Keshen-2 gas field was equally critical: out of 27 total wells, 15—nearly 56%—exhibited abnormal wellbore blockages. These blockages forced gas wells into a state resembling "asthma," where their "breathing became labored," severely curtailing production. In some cases, frequent sand production even led to mandatory well shutdowns. Ultimately, these blockages not only hindered individual well productivity but also posed a significant obstacle to the efficient development of the entire Kuqa Mountain Front gas field complex. Treating wellbore blockages is akin to traditional Chinese medicine—it requires accurately diagnosing the underlying issue, pinpointing the root cause, and prescribing the right remedy. Yet curing this "chronic condition" of gas wells has proven to be a challenging and intricate process. Prior to 2015, researchers initially concluded that the blockages were caused by sand production, leading them to adopt a quick-fix solution: increasing production pressure differentials while perforating oil tubes. While this approach provided immediate relief, it failed to address the root cause, often resulting in recurring blockages—a classic case of "treating the symptom but not the disease." From 2015 to 2018, during major well repairs or coiled tubing operations, technicians began collecting detailed samples from downhole blockages. Their analysis revealed that the deposits weren’t just sand but a complex combination of sand and scale—a breakthrough that fundamentally changed their understanding of the problem. Building on this new insight, engineers developed a proprietary remediation fluid system tailored specifically for dissolving scale while complementing it with mild sand-dissolving agents. This innovative solution not only minimized corrosion risks but also slashed costs by approximately 300,000 to 400,000 yuan per well. Since 2018, researchers have conducted over 500 analytical tests, refining their understanding of blockage types. They now recognize that wellhead samples primarily consist of sand, while downhole samples reveal a mix of sand and scale. Meanwhile, full-wellbore sampling indicates that scale remains the dominant component. Based on these findings, they’ve crafted a robust "1134" suite of technologies: - For wells with partial blockages and existing liquid flow channels, the focus is on **acid-based wellbore cleaning**. - For severely blocked wells lacking any liquid flow pathways, the approach combines **coiled tubing operations with acid-based treatment**. - And for wells where even coiled tubing cannot clear the blockage, the solution involves **targeted acid dissolution at specific well locations**. This "1134" framework represents a refined, evidence-based approach that builds upon "precision therapy," emphasizing a holistic "diagnosis and treatment" strategy. It not only resolved the urgent need to boost gas production during the 2018 winter supply season but has also become a sustainable long-term solution for high-quality development in the Kuqa Mountain Front region. Notably, the Keshen-2-2-8 well, which had been shut down for over six months, served as the first testbed for this "targeted therapy," successfully restoring its daily gas output to 340,000 cubic meters. Since then, the Kuqa Mountain Front has seen a total of 28 wells undergo successful remediation under this advanced system, achieving an impressive average daily production increase of 3.91 million cubic meters of gas and 246 tons of oil per well. Collectively, these efforts have prevented costly major overhauls on 10 additional wells, safeguarding both operational efficiency and long-term resource sustainability.
