Case History

Innovative chemical scale treatments boost well production at a fraction of the cost and effort of traditional acid treatments

Chemicals Utilized

FQE Scale Solv SS

Effective at dissolving carbonate scale and as a substitute for hydrogen chloride. Scale-Solv SS is non corrosive to metals, allowing for treatments to be performed with downhole equipment still in the hole reducing rig time and rig expenses.

1

An operator in Colorado saves 75% per well with FQE Scale-Solv SS treatment.

Five shallow gas wells were treated with 12 bbls of FQE Scale-Solv SS. The chemical was set for 1-hour, then ran the pumping units for 30-minutes, followed by a shut-in for 2-hours. The wells were now returned to production. The treatments required no workover rig, and the only equipment used was a bobtail vacuum truck. Operator saved approximately 75% per well versus traditional acid job and increased production over 10x.

2

Oklahoma operator reduces costs by 40% utilizing FQE Scale-Solv SS for remedial acid treatment.

The operator experienced a decline in production, and there were indications of build-up around the perforations requiring treatment to restore production. An 8,000-gallon treatment was designed and pumped down the tubing with a packer to isolate the perforations.

The treatment pressures and rates indicated a reduction in the scaling. Since FQE Scale-Solv SS is safe for production equipment, the well was immediately returned to the rod pump, eliminating multiple days of rig time and reducing costs by 40%. Production rates have increased, and the oil cut has improved.
