Baker Hughes Production Case Files
 

Case File 403  Chemical Treatment – Onshore U.S.

F.O.A.M. technology restricts water loading, increases gas production and reduces corrosion

A 13,000-ft well with 11,000 psi bottomhole pressure and 275º F bottomhole temperature produces 3.0 MMcfd of gas and 250 BPD of water and no condensate. Originally, the well was being treated with a batch corrosion inhibitor. The production, however, became inconsistent and the well stopped producing gas. The measured iron counts increased to 275 ppm due to increasing corrosion rate. A switch was made to a F.O.A.M. product that resulted in a return to production and iron counts of 1 to 2 ppm. The chemical was dosed at a rate of 1,650 ppm through capillary tubing to the bottom of the well. If the chemical dosing is stopped, the well will load with water and stop producing in less than 12 days.
