BJ Services announced the completion of a coiled tubing (CT) intervention and stimulation operation on an underground gas storage well in Grijpskerk near Groningen , The Netherlands that is owned by Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM), a 50-50 Shell-ExxonMobil joint venture, and operated by Shell Exploration and Production in Europe.
The Netherlands is home to underground gas storage wells that are used to store gas during low-usage summer months, and used to produce gas during peak delivery periods throughout the winter. To ensure that their contractual obligation to deliver adequate gas supplies during the peak period is met, NAM aimed to increase the production and injection rate of one of its 7-5/8” gas storage wells, GRK-47, in Grijpskerk. In order to achieve this objective, NAM retained BJ Services to carry out a coiled tubing intervention operation on the well, which required acid stimulation to restore the well’s capacity to six million scm/d.
