Wavefront Technology Solutions Inc., under contract from Pemex, completed an initial four of six planned Powerwave stimulations at the Pemex-operated Chicontepec field in Mexico.

A single well stimulation is a remedial operation performed on a producing well to restore or enhance productivity. In many instances, a chemical is pumped into the well to stimulate a producing interval. During this operation, the importance of placing the chemical efficiently is critical to success.

Powerwave enables this targeted placement and has generated significant results in well stimulations in Canada and the US. A single well stimulation using Powerwave can generally be completed in one day compared to flooding operations that can take much more than a decade, according to the company.
