SOLID CHEMICAL STICK APPLICATIONS FOR OPTIMIZATON OF GAS PRODUCTION
Wide varieties of solid chemical sticks, when properly used, can be cost effective and increase production of gas wells. Determination of the right solid chemical stick is crucial for all applications. Analysis of water, oil, and determination of fluid column height, hydrocarbon content, chlorides, and bottom hole pressure and temperature are used to determine the proper formulation of solid chemical sticks. For economic reason you can follow the 25-30% removal principal when using soap sticks. It is not unusual to find that if 25-30% of the water column is removed by soap sticks, an equal amount of back psi (25-30%) is eliminated from the formation. This allows a surge of gas that helps remove some additional water for a period of time. This is again achieved by proper selection of solid chemical sticks.
