The Problem
The soft nature of chalk can cause a sharp decline in fracture conductivity, whether the fracture is hydraulic, acid, or propped. This degradation significantly impacts production performance and well longevity, reducing the return on completion investments.
Our Solution
WellGuard's Chalk Guard chemical treatment is specifically designed to stiffen chalk formations and help preserve fracture conductivity over the life of the well. Our advanced formulation prevents chalk degradation and maintains optimal flow paths.
Key Benefits
Sustain Conductivity
Stabilize chalk through targeted chemical injection.
Long-term Performance
Maintain flow in hydraulic, acid, and propped fractures.
Minimize Decline
Strengthen chalk matrix and reduce conductivity loss.
Enhanced Durability
Improve completion reliability and production consistency.
How It Works
Three-step process for proven chalk stabilization
- Surface Preparation: Prepare the well and surface systems for treatment delivery.
- Downhole Injection: Deliver the treatment precisely into the target chalk formations.
- Chalk Stiffening: Chemicals react with chalk to strengthen matrix and preserve conductivity.
