Date: 06/25/2024
Operator: Auterra Operating
Well: Tinsley Lester AW 1H
Field: Eagleville
Parish/County: Gonzales County Texas

Challenge: Operator experienced fluid losses drilling the lateral section.

Solutions: Pumped more aggressive PRO V+ / PRO X sweeps , Pumping 30ppb sweeps (15ppb PRO V+ and 15ppb PRO X) every 100ft drilled until losses were controlled. 

Also carried on location PRO V+, PRO X, SB SuperCeal, PRO Sweep Aid, PRO TightCeal/M products to apply as needed.

Results: Minimized fluid losses and TD the well on a 2-well pad and successfully cemented production casing. 

Also ran PRO V+/ PRO X Pre-Cement Spacer 50bbls @ 30ppb to ensure a good cement job.

LaSalle County, TX
Date: 3/25/25
Operator:
Texas American Resources
Well / Area: Burns Ranch 153H
Field: Eagleville (Eagle Ford-1)
Parish/County: LaSalle County, TX
Rig: Ensign T120

Challenges:
Drilling the 4th lateral on a 4-well pad on the 153H at 12,167’; had some seepage losses in the Austin Chalk
Solutions/ Product

Recommendation:
We recommended pumping 5ppb PRO Sweep Aid to be included with the current sweeps of 5ppb Chek Loss to control the seepage; PRO Sweep Aid, SB SuperCeal, PRO V+, PRO X.

Results: 17,365’ with no losses; did not encounter losses in the Olmos and Austin Chalk formations.

Washington County, TX
Date: 11/21/24
Operator: Magnolia O&G
Well / Area: Commodore Six H06 MC
Field: Giddings
Parish/County: Washington County, TX
Rig: H&P 541

Challenges: TD the 1st intermediate section on a 4-well pad at 10195’ and took a kick; had to kill with 100 bbls of 14.5 OBM because the separator had a crack so they were not able to circulate it out.
Solutions/ Product

Recommendation:
Running sweeps with a mixture of SB SuperCeal, PRO Sweep Aid , also carrying contingency products PRO V+, PRO X for high fluid loss or squeeze..

Results: Washed to bottom to run 7-5/8” casing.

Webb County, TX
Date: 8/9/24
Operator: Rio Grande E&P
Well / Area: Junco Ranch 1H
Field: Hawkville
Parish/County: Webb County, TX
Rig: H&P 536

Challenges:
The operator drilled out of intermediate casing and attempted to obtain a casing shoe test of 17.0 EMW but was unsuccessful with the pressure leaking off.

Solutions/ Product Recommendation: This Operator is familiar with running our products did not reach out to PROCOR for assistance or recommendations on squeezing the shoe, so they mixed and squeezed an 80bbl pill with 25ppb SB SuperCeal, 30ppb Calcium Carbonate-30 and 30ppb Calcium Carbonate-50ppb.

Results:
The operator was only able to achieve a maximum squeeze of 15.1ppg EMW with the mud engineer’s pill combination. The operator decided to drill ahead with a maximum mud weight of 14.6ppg while pumping preventative sweeps of 10ppb PRO Sweep Aid and 10 ppg Calcium Carbonate every 100ft drilled. The operator was able to drill to the pilot hole TD with no losses. After the fact, we informed their mud engineer we would have recommended pumping, 40ppb PRO X, 30ppb
PRO V+ and 10ppb SB SuperCeal, but we’re concerned about plugging the directional tools. We explained we have pumped this concentration many times and offered to go out to location and assist. The mud engineer was convinced they had a bad cement job on the intermediate casing string.
