By: Stonehaven Energy, LLC Production Enhancement Technology Brings Stripper Wells Back To Life Houston, TX – Stonehaven Energy, LLC applied SURGITECH INC's, NitroDyne™ workover process to their Tippery Field near Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania. Stonehaven was able to achieve a 580% increase in oil production between May and August when the pilot testing was concluded. In addition to oil production dramatically increasing, there was a significant drop in water production from most leases that were treated. The Tippery field pilot success enabled Stonehaven Energy to double the company's oil production after working over just 18% of their wells. Stonehaven Energy, LLC like many marginal well operators in the United States is battling the low reservoir energy and the paraffin and/or ashphaltene deposits which impair oil flow in a high percentage of the United States, shallow, conventional wells. By deploying SURGITECH's NitroDyne™, well cleanup process, Stonehaven was able to dramatically and economically increase field production in a few short months. While traditional stripper well remediation techniques like hot water, hot oil or even solvent treatments, only address the buildup of paraffin in the wellbore and tubing, the NitroDyne™ process targets deposits in fractures so that the entire network of subsurface pathways is opened up which restores lost conductivity and allows oil to again flow easily from the reservoir to the wellbore. The NitroDyne™ process also leaves a green, plant based, paraffin solvent deep in the reservoir which will inhibit paraffin deposition for a number of months. "Unlike all of the other treatments that we have tried over the years, the NitroDyne™ process first restores reservoir conductivity and then re-energizes the rock with a compressed, CO2/Nitrogen mixture which makes a well produce like it's just a couple of months old. We are effectively resetting the decline curve on these wells every time we treat them," says Jeremy Graham, Stonehaven's Director of Operations. "This technology should allow us to maintain higher production levels while lowering our lease operating expenses through the reduction in produced water." About Stonehaven Energy Stonehaven is a Pennsylvania based, stripper well operator with more than 350 wells spread across Warren, Forest, Venango and McKean counties. The company is committed to evaluating and deploying cost effective technologies to increase both recovery factors and production rates in their fields. About Surgitech Inc Surgitech Inc is a Houston based, oil & gas service company which developed the NitroDyne, production enhancement process. The NitroDyne process is use to dramatically increase oil production and ultimate recovery factors in shallow, marginal wells. Visit us at http://www.marginal- End
