TAM-J Applications–Vertical
Problem: Problem:
• Scale build-up in perforations • Screen & gravel pack plugged
Solution: Solution:
• Run Thru-Tubing • Perform multiple sets to selectively
acidize screen
• Straddle and acidize individual
perforation sets
TAM-J Applications–Vertical
Problem: Problem:
• Leak in 22-inch casing or shoe • Well requires P&A
• Corroded tubing
Solution:
• Perform multiple tests to determine Solution:
exact depth of leak and squeeze
• Perform multiple sets to locate leaks
cement to repair
• Squeeze perforations and spot
annulus cement plugs
TAM-J Applications–Horizontal
Problem:
• Well producing excess water
Solution:
• Perform multiple production tests
to determine water entry point
Problem:
• Multi-lateral well producing
excess water
Solution:
• Selectively test each leg
TAM-J Applications–Horizontal
Problem:
• Severe lost circulation in lateral
Solution:
• Squeeze cement L/C zones
Problem:
• Low productivity due to
formation damage
Solution:
• Perform multiple matrix acid
treatments as required
