Documented technology case
Prudhoe Bay F-42: what the record shows
The supplied technical record reports an increase from 94 to 413 barrels of oil per day after vibro-resonance treatment. The original production curve provides context for those two figures.

Production before treatment
The English technical presentation gives a pre-treatment oil rate of 94 barrels/day for well F-42. It does not supply a complete damage diagnosis, completion drawing or operating log for this job.
Reported response
The presentation reports 413 barrels/day after treatment, an increase of 319 barrels/day relative to the stated 94-barrel baseline. The calculated relative increase is about 339%. These are reported comparison values, not an average uplift across all wells.
How the treatment is described
The method uses a downhole Wave Generator and controlled fluid circulation. The technical overview describes coiled-tubing treatments on producing gas-lift wells at Prudhoe Bay. A complete F-42 job log is not included, so the field-level description does not establish an exact treatment duration or downtime for this well.
Watch the step-by-step explanationWhy this matters for your assessment
Use 94 barrels/day as a documented example baseline in the calculator. Enter your own shutdown periods and treatment quotes. The recorded production increase is not automatically added to projected revenue.

The source chart spans 26 July to 9 August 1994. It shows a rise, variation and a later rate near the reported 413 barrels/day. It is a short observation window, not evidence that the same rate continued indefinitely.

This is a historical technology example from supplied materials, not a new Resonflux field trial, an independent operator audit or an endorsement by the field operator.
What these documents cannot establish
- No complete daily operating dataset or uncertainty analysis is supplied.
- No matched acidizing trial, all-in treatment quote or complete shutdown timeline is supplied.
- The short plotted period does not establish long-term incremental recovery or a financial return.
