(Douglas Sand - Barber County, Kansas)


Operator perforated Douglas Sand @ 3400-3406. Well swab tested 50 barrels of water per hour. Shut in tubing pressure 950#. Well put on pump for 600 BWPD, 100 Mcf gas (declining). Operator determined water-coning from below Douglas formation, near wellbore, poor cement bond or vertical fracture out of zone.


Polymer Services, LLC designed a multi-stage high density polymer gel treatment to seal the near wellbore channel, with minimal damage to the gas productive interval. A total treatment volume of 75 bbl HDLV polymer gellant was pumped, followed by 60 bbl condensate. The well was shut in 5 days to allow maximum development of gel strength.


Initial production was 250 Mcf Gas, and 200 BWPD. The water depleted to 50 BWPD, and the gas increased to 600 mcf, one month after treatment. After 18 months, production has stabilized at 300 Mcf, with minimal water production

Casting: 5 ‡" @ 12,000' TUBING: 2 7/8" @ 11,600
Perforations: 11,670-11,743' and 11,752-11,771' (92' overall)
Formation: Granite Wash
Temperature: 206 degrees @ 11,724'
Salinity: 35,000 ppm
Porosity: 8%
Initial Production: 1 million cfd Well was shut in prior to polymer treatment. No Production. 19-foot interval from 11,664 - 11,685' was producing 78% for the water. Am in-situ polymer gellation treatment was designed for this well, using a modified polyacrylamide chromium-redox system. The recommended treatment procedure is as follows:

  1. Packer set @ 11,640' to isolate zone for treatment.
  2. Pump 80 BBL 2% LCl preflush with 5 gal. XC-302.
  3. Pump 300 BBL PERMBLOK I delayed crosslink polymer system.
  4. Pump 100 BBL clean-lease crude with 5 gal. LCI to re-establish hydrocarbon permeability.
  5. Shut well in 48 hours to allow maximum development of gel strength.
  6. Place well back on production. Well is currently producing 800,000 cfd, after 6 months.

Estimated treatment cost: $22,495.00
