Summary

 

Terra Slicing
Analyzing Data

TST is the most advanced completion water jetting technology today. TST uses high pressure abrasive slurry to cut the casing, the cement, and deep into the formation. Two vertical windows, each going out 6 to 15 feet, about 1 to 3 inches wide, and as vertically tall as necessary. TST is very different from shaped charge perforation because it is a cutting procedure. No explosion, or burning, or scarring, or lamination. TST can be used as an alternative to hydraulic fracturing.

Centrator

We use a device called a centrator to orient the tool according to any depth, vector, or angle. TST is very accurate and reliable. The centrator ensures the cut is perpendicular to the maximum stresses of the porosity matrix.

 


Chemical Slot Expansion

At this point in the procedure, permeability is already 15 to 20 times higher than before. Now, we can insert chemistry directly into the window cavities if necessary, to further increase permeability. Note – we only use slurry and chemicals that are absolutely safe for the wells geology.

Conclusion

 

Risks and Costs

Risks of failing to cut are minimal, even for multiple casings and cement. Equipment is designed for deep cuts. Cutting and orientation ability can be demonstrated on surface prior to job. Depending on size, depth, number of terra-slices, and complexity of the job, costs are variable. However we provide an economic model outlining the cost benefits analysis. Risk and cost can be reduced further by consulting with experienced engineering and geological team of FalconRidge Oil.

 

 

Final Wrap Up

 

So technically what do we do?

 

Oil Rig Crew

We start with an existing oil and gas asset.

TST cuts away several tons of rock in two directions in the wells
             performance or "pay" zone(s). When we do this, we remove the
             compression around the well-bore, and move it to the tips of the slots.

We can then insert chemistry to clean the near-well-bore zone to ensure
             maximum productivity (optional).

Permeability at the lateral sides of these windows increases to 15 times
             what exists in nature. Permeability at the tips goes to zero.

What the well becomes is a new structure that you have to imagine is
             not a 5½ inch radius any more, but a radius between 10 and 20 feet
             wide in the target interval. 


This allows the well to access reserves far beyond what was previously accessible. Your low production goes way up. Your dead well becomes revived. By working with FalconRidge, we will enhance productivity, increase revenue, and extend the life of current oil and gas assets.
