Find the cause, before you treat it

We sample the system, read the data, and help you identify the root problem. Sometimes your current program is fine as it is.

The wrong fix costs more

Often our customers already know what the problem is and only need a way to carry out the job design. If you have a lean engineering team with little time to dig into low producers, allow us to help with the candidate selection. We can identify underperformers that would respond to chemical stimulation, and we'll work closely with your team to land on the right solution.

Process

How we diagnose

What we measure: solids, water quality, emulsion presence, and interface condition, recorded well by well. Sampling covers every well rather than a representative few, because not all wells are the same.

  1. Sample

    We pull a sample from each individual well rather than one point that stands in for the group.

  2. Read

    Each sample is evaluated for water composition, which shows what is likely causing the problem.

  3. Report

    You get the sample data, the photographs, our interpretation, and a plan in writing.

  4. Treat

    If a treatment is warranted, we design it, supply the chemical, pump it, and report the results.

Job types

Lower production or pump intake issues?

Before you call a rig, call OneCor

An acid job down the backside may be what you need to free up debris in the pump. If you're concerned about damaging the pump, OneCor's ProSurge products bring the same dissolving power as acid with less harm to mild metals.

Running ESPs?

Maintenance treatments with ProSurge

Maintenance acid jobs with ProSurge help keep uptime and keep your electric submersible pump running well for as long as possible. The product dissolves scale as it forms and helps stop it before it becomes an issue.

Production
Production uplift

Want uplift without a workover rig?

A backside treatment

We can help identify deferred production, review your water analysis and any deposit analysis, and recommend a backside treatment. It takes one drum to one tote of product. The job can pay for itself in a week and deliver months of production uplift.

Already planning a high-rate flush?

Spot HCl on the way out

Once the sand is out of the way, it's a good time to acid-wash your perforations. Why not use two workhorses to get more uplift from the same trip?

Pressure Pumping
Continuous

Scale building up in flowlines?

Batch or continuous application

We treat flowline scale in batch with a pump truck, or with continuous application where the problem is severe. We've had customers breaking down flowlines monthly to chip out scale that cut flow and raised wellhead pressure. After continuous application was set up, scale stopped building and pressures held, at a reduced cost compared to a traditional scale inhibitor.

Fighting disposal well injection pressure?

A system review

If you need to dispose of more water, talk to us about a system review. We've reduced injection pressure with an upfront acid job, then used continuous application to bring it down further and keep it there.

Production
Midstream

Ice or hydrates in gas lines?

Methanol and methanol/glycol blends

When temperatures drop, gas lines run a higher risk of ice and hydrate buildup. We supply neat methanol or blends of methanol and glycol, from small field base-tank fills to large bulk drops. The products are important, but our response time is what sets OneCor apart.

Deposits in produced water pipelines?

Evaluate, then recommend

Produced water pipelines are at risk of deposit buildup. Chemical treatments can remove solids without compromising the integrity of the pipeline. We evaluate the buildup and recommend a treatment for your line.

A BS&W spike from 1% to 5%, traced to one well

When BS&W at a central facility jumped from 1% to 5%, we sampled all 13 satellites before recommending anything. The incumbent program was working. One well was sending slugs of emulsion. The fix was that well, not the field.

FAQ

Troubleshooting, answered

Incumbent chemistry, engineering, measurement, deliverables, and what we need from you

Do you have petroleum engineers on staff?

Yes. Our engineering team qualifies well candidates and designs the job before anything is pumped. Jobs are run by field specialists with more than 20 years of experience. Engineering also decides when a treatment is not worth running.

Do you measure results after a treatment?

Yes. Follow-up testing confirms the job performed as designed, and baseline production is compared to post-treatment production so you can see the change against the cost of the job. The comparison goes to you in writing.

What do I get at the end of an evaluation?

The sample data, photographs from each location, our interpretation of what the samples show, and a written plan. If the recommendation is to leave the program alone, that goes in writing too. The report is yours to share with your own engineering team.

Can a treatment pay for itself?

Often. A backside treatment takes one drum to one tote of product and can pay back quickly. On one Williston Basin well, the job paid back in 16 days. Results vary by well, which is why we review the well file first.

What do you need from me to get started?

A well history, current production, a list of what's already been tried, and access to the location are usually enough. Nothing formal is required. If the problem is at a facility rather than a well, we'll come sample the system.
