Paper: Batch Treatment of Sucker Rod Pumped Wells

The results of a pilot inhibition program carried out on eight wells on the MCA Unit, Maljamar, New Mexico, form the basis for a batch treatment program that has been translated to over 400 producing wells in the Hobbs area. The recommended treatment program will be discussed with respect to selection of inhibitor, batch treatment methodology, frequency of treatment, and inhibitor dosage. Results showing the effectiveness of this program with regard to corrosion mitigation, increased production, and improvement of the quality of the produced oil and water will be presented.
