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.
For more than a century, LSU has shaped petroleum engineering education, but few assets showcase its impact like the PERTT Lab. With six deep test wells and rare reservoir-depth gas-injection capabilities, the facility is helping drive breakthroughs in well control, carbon-dioxide injection, and next-generation energy technologies.
