Historically, batch applications of corrosion inhibitors have been utilized to protect the downhole tubulars in oil and gas producing wells. Previously, a paper was presented which detailed the laboratory development and initial field evaluations of a new, unique corrosion inhibitor which enabled the Operator to extend the frequencies of his conventional batch treatments. This paper addresses the practical application of this chemistry, and the monitoring of its performance over the last year in several producing fields in the Permian Basin.
