H2S Treatment Success!

Phoenix Chemical Technologies recently completed testing a new H2S Treating product on a well located in the Eagle Ford Shale play. The well was completed and brought on-line in November of 2010. Since then the operator has seen considerable increase in harmful and potentially fatal H2S.

Conventional H2S scavengers worked well for the first few months of production, but as the H2S from the well steadily increased it made it economically impossible to continuously treat the well. The operator was forced to begin flaring the gas and a H2S treating tower was installed to bring the H2S to a “manageable” level in order to begin gas lifting the well to keep production up.

In early November 2011 Phoenix Chemical Technologies began a weeklong test of our new proprietary H2S chemical. The date the test began the well was producing 2,500 ppm (parts per million) H2S. Phoenix Chemical Technologies began treating the well at a 10-gallon per day rate. After completing the weeklong test another H2S reading was taken. That reading at the same sample point 10 days later was less than 500 ppm!

Phoenix Chemical Technologies is currently in the process of rigging up a continuous treatment program and updates are sure too follow.

The next well treatment test will be performed on another well in the Eagle Ford Shale that is currently producing 10,000 – 12,000 ppm H2S.

Update 12/6/2011: H2S reading was below 300 ppm.
