Unwanted water production can erode well performance and asset economics if left unmanaged. Interwell’s precision water shutoff approach, grounded in diagnostics and engineered isolation, helps operators identify water-entry points, protect hydrocarbon flow, and restore sustainable well performance in mature and complex wells.
Drone strikes, refinery shutdowns, tanker disruptions, and halted LNG production have heightened concerns about broader supply risks.

Electrical submersible pump (ESP) systems are critical to achieving the maximum production rates and reservoir pressure drawdown that improve ultimate recovery. But variable volumes of gas in unconventional wells can pose challenges for performance of the ESP. -
Well-control fluids were used during a routine overbalanced workover operation in an offshore well completed in high-permeability sandstone.
-
A challenge in many permeable, water-sensitive, subhydrostatic reservoirs is avoiding the loss of completion fluid when completing or working over wells.
-
The surge in unconventional completions has created a substantial accumulation of previously hydraulically fractured wells that are candidates for hydraulic refracturing.
-
A matured field is currently producing with greater than 85% water cut (WC) and has significant levels of uncertainty with respect to oil/water contact (OWC), flank structure, depth of spill points, production allocation, and residual oil saturation.
-
One of the most promising targets for resource-rock stimulation in South America is the Vaca Muerta (VM) shale in western Argentina.
-
A challenging commodity price environment has forced operators to seek methods for sharply lowering recovery cost per barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) in unconventional plays.
-
The surge in unconventional completions over the last decade has created ample candidates for hydraulic refracturing, which has been demonstrated to be a viable alternative to the more expensive endeavor of drilling and completing new wells.
-
Liquid loading is a common production problem in mature gas wells. Correct prediction of the critical gas velocity at which the well starts to load is very important for taking action to prevent premature loss of production.

In a riserless-light-well-intervention (RLWI) operation in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), a crown plug failed to release.
