A successful test of the prototype
qWave has developed a prototype tool and methods to perform stress testing of rock formations in openhole wellbores. It is based on qWave patented shockwave technology that could enable CCS operators to store and inject CO2 safely and to optimise economics in carbon storage development projects. In the period September 4th-12th qWave performed a successful …
