Cascade³
Extends the life of water injection wells and increases overall field production
Page last modified
April 11 2024
Cascade³ is designed to significantly improve the long-term performance of water injection wells. It provides a unique solution to conventional sand control challenges that can result in a number of negative outcomes, limiting production, and ultimately reducing well life. Cascade³ technology eliminates failure mechanisms, such as water hammer, crossflow, and backflow. A high density of flow control valves mounted within conventional sand screens allows high water injection rates while increasing sand control reliability and maintaining injectivity over time.
