Hi Steve, Thanks for taking time from your busy schedule!

1-Would you tell our readers what your company does?

Well Enhancement Services increases production by creating horizontal laterals in oil and gas wells. Our laterals extend from the wellbore out 300 ft into the producing formation. We create these horizontal laterals in all directions and at multiple operating depths with typically three or fours laterals per depth. In other words, we open up the well in order to allow oil and gas to move more freely to the wellbore, thus increasing the drainage radius. We believe that we can allow wells to drain an addition 15% of the oil that is in place.

Hi Dr. Schmidt, thanks for taking the time out of your busy day! I know the GasGun® is in high demand these days, would you mind telling our readers a little bit about your company?

It is my pleasure to speak with you today!

J Integral Engineering was formed in 1992. In 1994, we won a Small Business Innovation Research grant from the Department of Energy to develop, test, optimize, and commercialize the use of progressively burning solid propellants for the economical stimulation of oil and gas wells. The concept, initially conceived from a research study I helped conduct at Sandia National Laboratories in the early 1970's, was field-tested and a practical design was optimized.
