Plant Based Chemicals with Vapor Delivery

For many decades, operators have been pouring chemicals down wellbores with little understanding of where they are going and how effectively they are treating the entire wellbore or formation intervals.  Liquid applications, due to simple physics, treat the bottom of the well more than the top.   The hydrostatic head of the column of treatment fluid, usually pushes more fluid into the bottom intervals or perforations than the top resulting in a very uneven treatment application.  The other problem with liquid application of treatment chemicals is that due to viscosity and surface tension issues, liquids just aren't very good at infiltrating the reservoir rock matrix.  Gas on the other hand has at least an order of magnitude higher injectivity which means that if treatment chemicals can be put into a vapor state, they can touch and effect significantly more of the rock matrix.

SurgiTech takes a completely different approach to most types of well treatments.  Using the SurgiTech Nitro-Dyne unit, a well is first completely cleaned to remove any rust, scale, paraffin or sand that may be pushed into the perforations during the actual matrix treatment.  Once the debris has been gas lifted out of the well, the Nitro-Dyne unit warms the well up and then scours the casing and tubing with a plant based bio-solvent/surfactant.  After the cleaning cycle, the unit will inject the same environmentally friendly vapor into the rock matrix where it reduces the viscosity of the oil and leaves a slick coating on the casing and rock pore throats so that oil flows more freely to the wellbore.  This miscible vapor also raises the pressure in the rock matrix so that when the well is blown down, there is a greater pressure drop between the formation and wellbore which further assists with moving fluids to the well for collection.  Once a well has had the full cleaning treatment, subsequent treatments can be performed by just connecting a Nitro-Dyne unit to the casing/tubing annulus and injecting the miscible vapor for 2-3 hours per treatment.

SurgiTech also has a number of environmentally friendly methods for addressing formation and wellbore scale issues.  From patented, high pressure clean-out systems for mechanically remove scale to organic acids to dissolve them, SurgiTech can create a treatment program to suit your needs. 

The flexibility of the Nitro-Dyne units also allows SurgiTech to create a completely unique treatment solution for water injectors.  While most service companies treat water injector scale issues by dumping in a treatment chemical then pushing the remaining fluid and debris into the formation where it can cause additional plugging issues, our Nitro-Dyne units can be used to U-tube spent treatment fluids and sediment out of the well where they can't do any more harm.  No other treatment company offers the ability to deliver such a comprehensive treatment solution.
