Description
Summary:For effective cleaning of oil and gas wells and their revival, a novel fluid composition of enzyme-G with acid mixture together with corrosion inhibitor and selected additives is developed. Laboratory and field experiments endorse the effectiveness of the new fluid composition. Upon testing and analyzing the results with various treatment combinations, the procedure is optimized. Its efficacy is validated by treating various oil and natural gas operations. This communication provides a comprehensive description of the method for cleaning the oil and gas wells and their stimulation for improving the production. The novel enzymes-G composition developed, effectively removes the impurities from the face of the wellbore, improve pore formation and create additional artificial channels to enhance the production of oil and gas. The developed protocols could also be used in injection wells to improve the injection rates. Keywords: Well stimulation, Polymers breaking, Acidization, Fragmentation, Corrosion inhibitor, Enzyme G
