The Hyperscratcher Tool was tested in wells from various basins that had reported paraffin, scale and asphaltene build-ups that were adversely affecting production.
Initially designed in California in the 1980s, the Hyperscratcher tool was developed to remove wellbore debris to provide a clear path for production. The tool incorporates multiple cleaning methods including jets for spotting water, acid, or other chemicals and wire brushes for borehole casing cleaning.

The Rocks and Reservoirs Phase 2 Pilot program request for proposals is open to all Wyoming oil and gas operators doing business in the State of Wyoming producing oil and gas from reservoirs in the state.
The Rocks and Reservoirs Phase 2 program is designed to acquire real world Wyoming reservoir characterization and operating data in partnership with Wyoming Operators. This data will be used by the “Consortium” of Center of Innovation for Flow through Porous Media (COIFPM), the Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute (EORI), the University of Wyoming School of Energy Resources (SER) and the Wyoming Energy Authority (WEA) to further research, engineering and geologic analysis of Wyoming reservoirs and to suggest improved, economic methods for recovering more stranded oil and gas to improve the commercial viability of Wyoming operations, which is at the heart of the Consortium’s mission.

Governor Gordon will launch the Energy Rebound Program on Wednesday, November 18, 2020, designed to assist Wyoming’s economic recovery and boost employment in the oil and gas industry.
The Energy Rebound Program will utilize up to $15 million in CARES Act funding to provide business relief targeted towards drilled, but uncompleted oil and gas wells (DUCs), wells that were unable to be recompleted, and plugging and abandonment (P&A) projects which could not be finished due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The School of Energy Resource’s (SER) Center for Economic Geology Research (CEGR) at the University of Wyoming officially launched Phase 3 of the CarbonSAFE project last month.
The Wyoming CarbonSAFE Project (Carbon Storage Assurance Facility Enterprise) is among 13 original carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) project sites in the U.S. Funded by the DOE, the project’s ultimate goal is to ensure carbon storage complexes will be ready for integrated CCUS system deployment.
Phase 3 project objectives are to finalize site characterization; complete Class 6 permitting to construct; integrate Membrane Technology and Research Inc.’s CO2 capture assessment; and conduct National Environmental Policy Act analyses to advance toward the eventual commercialization of a large-scale -- storage of 50 million metric tons of CO2 within a 30-year period -- CCUS project at Dry Fork Station.

The State Carbon Capture Work Group is hosting four separate webinars in November and December, bringing together experts and signatories to review analyses, highlight current CO2 transport infrastructure projects, provide Class VI updates and discuss a strategy for developing recommendations for an action plan.
CO2 transport infrastructure development is a necessary component to meeting U.S. midcentury climate goals and a mechanism for bolstering regional jobs and economies. Seven states – Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Montana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Wyoming – have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) showcasing their commitment to the development of CO2 transport infrastructure and the establishment of an action plan which provides state and regional policy recommendations to ensure the deployment of CO2 transport infrastructure.
Individual calendar invitations with call-in details will be available for each webinar.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has released the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Wyoming Pipeline Corridor Initiative (WPCI) which analyzes the proposed corridor network designed for pipeline transportation of carbon dioxide.
The State of Wyoming proposes to designate a statewide pipeline corridor network for future pipeline development associated with carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) as well as associated enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) facilities across private, state and BLM-managed lands.

Wyoming was the first state to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to join a multi-state effort committed to establishing and implementing a regional CO2 transportation infrastructure plan to enable large-scale carbon management.
Other states have since signed the MOU including Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania with Montana as the latest addition.
By signing the MOU, the signatory states recognize that development of regional and national CO2 transport networks is a catalyst to raise awareness of carbon capture and related opportunities associated with development of regional CO2 transport infrastructure. A multi-state CO2 transportation network, combined with financial incentives for carbon capture from industrial facilities and power plants holds the promise of supporting long-term production, continued use of affordable natural resources, preservation of high-paying jobs in energy-producing, agricultural, and industrial states while concurrently reducing net carbon emissions.
