HOUSTON, Mar. 28 -- Sonoran Energy Inc. has begun production of more than 100 b/d of oil equivalent from three of four wells in the first phase of a workover program in Louisiana.
The wells are located in the Vernon and Rapides parishes. First-phase work included replacing mechanical parts, such as gauges, gaskets, and flowlines; pumping liquid nitrogen downhole; acidizing wellbores; and cleaning production tubulars.
Sonoran also has started the second phase of the workover program, focusing on three wells with the most potential to increase production.
Initial wireline survey results of the second-phase wells indicate that problems may not be as severe as initially suspected. This should simplify repairs needed to restart production.
Sonoran is finishing an additional work program to reactivate the remaining first-phase well and to improve performance from the producing wells in order to boost output to the 200 boe/d it expected to achieve in this phase.
