Restore Production by Isolating Water Production Challenge Isolate a thief zone and preserve hole diameter in an openhole horizontal water injection well to restore lost production from a nearby oil well. Recent acid gel stimulation resulted in direct communication with the neighboring well where oil production was reduced by about 90%. Installation accuracy was very important as waterflow/caliper logs had identified a specific thief zone that was taking about 75% of injected water. Added Value An elastomer-coated SET ® Openhole Clad (OHC) System was successfully deployed and expanded to isolate the targeted thief zone. The Operator sustained reduction in water injection rate of several hundred m 3 /d, while mai
