AKROS has designed a wide specter of technologies and services for oil production, workover and wells completion aimed to the improvement of work quality, reduction of well intervention periods, and mitigation of related risks.

WELL KILL FLUIDS AND COMPLETION SOLUTIONS

STIMULATION SOLUTIONS

WATER INFLOW REDUCTION

Proper bottomhole zone condition is directly dependent on the well completion quality, specifically, on the use of proper fluids that contain no solids, are characterized by high inhibiting ability and low corrosive properties. Well selected and justified completion solutions enhance oil production and make oil and gas field development more effective.

The most important role in well servicing and workover belongs to sound selection of well killing fluids that makes it possible to prevent such problems as loss of circulation, oil and gas shows, well productivity loss in post-overhaul period as well as aggressive corrosive action on tools and downhole equipment.

These technologies provide preservation of reservoir properties in the course of the above operations as well as technologically competent modelling of the formulation and technology selection processes and well productivity related servicing.

Main stimulation solutions are acid compounds, innovative mixtures for modifying porosity & permeability properties of a reservoir, as well as compounds for bottomhole cleaning and permeability build-up.

For water inflow reduction AKROS LLC offers product range of highly efficient compounds, having unique features, as well as compounds for use during interventions on reducing water inflow into the wells.

Technologies are selected for each individual well based on the specific geological and engineering data, and the results of the specific field core studies, which makes it possible to most accurately model the actual underlying conditions.

Well servicing support is provided by our engineering personnel with extensive well completion and workover experience.

For the purpose of implementing our technologies at our Customer’s facilities, AKROS will be willing to perform pilot tests on mutually beneficial terms and to provide the required amounts of chemicals for the designated number of jobs.
