Increasing Oil and Gas Well Productivity in Offshore Conditions

In a situation where the demand for oil and gas is increasing day by day, there arereductions in production due to several reasons. As we know, the productivity of the welldepends on several factors. These factors are examined and detailed information is provided inthis article. Among the main issues, processes such as hydraulic fracturing and acid treatmenthave been investigated in order to improve the conductivity of the well bottom zone. In addition,the relationship between reducing the back resistance at the wellhead and choosing the optimalmode for increasing the flow rate of the well was also considered. Attention has been paid to theimportance and possibility of taking preventive measures against the problems identified as aresult of the research conducted in this direction. Among the preventive measures taken againstthe sand problem, which is one of these problems, gravel packing, metal strainer, and chemicalhardening methods were investigated. In addition, attention has been paid to the issue ofincreasing the flow from the formation to the well by removing the fluid collected at the bottomof the well.
