Abstract

A well clean premium (WCP-1) system may be injected directly into an oil and gas reservoir through a production pipeline. This may provide a high reactivity stimulation integral system for carbonated reservoirs to increase the hydrocarbon productivity and provide corrosive self-control. The WCP-1 system may provide a special blend of last generation additives (i.e., surfactant, tensoactives, and special catalyst) that may permit the stimulation execution with minimal risk. It may be compatible with nitrogen (N 2 ) applications where the bottom hole temperature may not be as relevant. Less volume may be required for a specific stimulation compared with standard acid systems, and it may not be necessary to add corrosion inhibitors to the WCP-1 system. Accordingly, minimal or no additives are needed within the system, conserving a high reactivity with the carbonates. Excellent corrosion control also may be provided with no corrosion inhibitor needed when working with standard temperatures.

Claims (11)

1 . A well clean premium (WCP-1) system comprising:

a formulation of a viscoelastic surfactant, a compound based on organic molecules, humectant, capillary pressure and surface tension reducers, a catalyst, aminomethanamide, quaternary ammonium salt, and water injected directly into an oil and gas reservoir through a production pipeline, thereby providing a high reactivity stimulation integral system for carbonated reservoirs to increase hydrocarbon productivity and provide corrosive self-control.

2 . The WCP-1 system of claim 1 , the formulation comprising:

approximately 25-30% of the viscoelastic surfactant, approximately 10-15% of the compound based on organic molecules, humectant, capillary pressure and surface tension reducers, 8% of the catalyst, approximately 30-35% of aminomethanamide, approximately 5-8% quaternary ammonium salt, and approximately 12-20% water.

3 . The WCP-1 system of claim 1 , wherein the production pipeline comprises at least one of the following:

tubing, production pipe, casing pipe, and/or coiled tubing.

4 . The WCP-1 system of claim 1 , wherein the WCP-1 system contains no corrosive external inhibitor.

5 . The WCP-1 system of claim 1 , wherein the formulation is a transparent liquid having a yellow color.

6 . The WCP-1 system of claim 1 , wherein the formulation has no metal corrosion effect until reaching approximately 150 degrees Celsius.

7 . The WCP-1 system of claim 1 , wherein the formulation has a specific gravity of 1.15 and pH of 1-3.

8 . The WCP-1 system of claim 1 , wherein the system solubilizes solubilizing polymeric systems and polymers added to drilling and completion muds, which induces a filter cake in the oil and gas reservoir that the WCP-1 system dilutes.
