Calcium Sulfate Removal: Converter vs. Dissolver

Calcium Sulfate Removal

Converter

INC553 converts the Calcium Sulfate into a chemical salt, which is softer and can be easily removed from the well-bore, formation, or downhole equipment.  Can be removed mechanically or with the assistance of HydroChloric Acid. Under controlled laboratory conditions, INC553 has been shown to dissolve an average of 6 to 8 lbs. of gyp per gal. of product.  INC553 may be spotted on the damaged interval as is, or diluted 50% with brine water.  Recommended contact times may vary between 24 and 48 hours depending on the severity of the deposits.  For optimal results, remove any hydrocarbon deposits which may interfere with the sulfate reaction.  Optionally, INC553 may be pumped down the annular space through a side-stream flush line at a rate of 240 to 500 ppm based on the total daily water production of the well under treatment. 


Dissolver

INC551 physically (and slowly) dissolves Calcium Sulfate from the well-bore, formation, or downhole equipment.  Under controlled laboratory conditions, INC551 has been shown to dissolve an average of 5 lbs. of gyp per gal. of product.  INC551 may be spotted on the damaged interval as is, or diluted 50% with fresh water.  Recommended contact times may vary between 24 and 48 hours depending on the severity of the deposits.  For optimal results, remove any hydrocarbon deposits which may interfere with the sulfate reaction.
