TEST PROTOCOL FOR OIL WELL RESTORATION
This test methodology has been designed for oil wells where the crude oil is primarily paraffinic in nature. Where the formation oil is primarily asphaltic in nature, please contact Remtech Engineers for modified application rates and methodology:
1. For each oil well to be treated, have eighteen (18) gallons of HCZyme and three (3) gallons of AGZyme available. The AGZyme acts as the conditioner for mineral and metal deposits in the well bore, and the HCZyme acts as the surfactant and catalytic biological reactant for paraffin breakdown.
Make sure the oil well has first been taken off production, and that all electrical connections have been locked out. Also make sure that all valves from and to the well have been closed.
Prepare a connection to feed the HCZyme/AGZyme solution to the well. If using a water truck with a surge pump, disconnect the production line and attach a hose connection that will fit the water truck hose.
Pre-mix 18 gallons of HCZyme and 3 gallons of AGZyme with approximately 400 gallons of water. Whether using a water truck or a tank (i.e., Baker or Frac), it is recommended to first pour in the HCZyme and AGZyme, then add the water. This will ensure a good mixing of the product in solution prior to injection.
2. Inject the HCZyme/AGZyme solution into the well bore at approximately 55-65 psi (this may vary depending on the formation porosities). Then close all connections immediately to let the well soak.
3. Allow the well to soak for five (5) to six (6) days. Do not allow a longer period since adverse bacterial growth can occur. For stripper wells, a shorter time period for soaking (3 to 5 days) may be recommended. Then place the well back on production to completely flush the well bore.
4. Pump the well into normal production tanks. Any residual HCZyme or AGZyme will dissipate in to the oil/water mixture and will not cause any adverse effects.
Each formation will create different effects on the well bore due to paraffin content, depth and formation porosities. Thus, the application described above should be repeated as necessary to maintain optimal production from each well.
