Houston, Texas January 2024 – The performance data supporting the Surface Automatic Valve (SAV), commercially known as Bennu Valve, is now available on onepetro.org
The patented technology is installed at the wellhead and enhances production in mature reservoirs by up to 20%.
After E’kabel and the research group presented these findings in October at the Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), the oil organization published the content through onepetro.org website.
On onepetro.org, you can find all the papers that SPE classified for the ATCE event, information such as percentage production increase, details of valve manufacturing and installation process, also types of candidate wells is part of the information available in this technical article for any professional to explore.
Navas also emphasizes that ‘at the time of the study, Bennu Valve reported average results ranging from 6 to 20% production increase. Furthermore, since the article’s publication, we have tested the valve in new wells, and in one case, we exceeded a 40% increase,’ explained the expert. He notes that over time, the benefits of the tool are being further validated.
In addition, the technical team developed predictive software that aids in estimating the percentage increase in production based on historical well data. Preliminary tests show high accuracy in predictive results.
“We’re thrilled that professionals worldwide can now review the results of our patented innovation. Bennu Valve has the potential to radically transform mature well management, and the article explains the details,”
Steve Navas, Product Development Director at E’kabel.
