First Air Drilled Barefoot Completion in San Joaquin Basin
Planned and assisted in sidetrack and re-completion of non-operated well in the northern San Joaquin Valley. Successfully sidetracked and cased to top of depleted zone damaged by poor cement job in original wellbore and drilled out of shoe utilizing nitrogen membrane equipped air units to minimize formation damage.
Cryogenic Freeze Development and Implementation
Developed method for utilization of frozen bentonite gel as a pressure barrier using a two-phase nitrogen stream as the coolant instead of the traditional dry ice method. This technique was first implemented in the Aera Energy LLC operated South Belridge Diatomite Steam Drive Project. Technique was later implemented for all OCTG freeze work where practical. See SPE 78977 for additional details.
