Select Industries - Soap Sticks

FS-1251 Sticks are water soluble sticks containing a combination of surfactants designed to remove water from watered-up gas wells. Natural gas bubbling through the water-column and this combination of surfactants produces foam, and this foaming action decreases the hydrostatic back-pressure which increases gas production that further enhances the foaming action until the well unloads.

FS-1251 STICKS are primarily used as fast dissolving sticks in wells less than 5,000 feet deep and producing less than 1 barrel of fluid per day. FS-1251 Sticks can be used to increase the swabbing efficiency and life of swab cups while also cleaning the perforations. FS-1251 Sticks are also used in water injection wells in combination with Select Industries ACID STICKS® to help reduce injection pressures. Surfactants contained in FS-1251 Sticks help remove oil coatings on scale allowing the ACID STICKS® to react with the exposed scale.

The number of FS-1251 Sticks to be used is based on the volume of water above the perforations. Field tests indicate that the best results were achieved by using a larger initial slug treatment of 1/2 to 1 percent by weight of FS-1251 Sticks to water above the perforations. A treatment of 1/2 to 1 percent by weight would require approximately 1.75 to 3.50 lbs of stick per barrel of water.

Please review SDS prior to using this product. As with all industrial chemicals, contact with eyes or skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly with water if contact with skin is made. Sticks should be stored in a cool dry place. Always remove stick from plastic bag or cardboard tube before using. Bag or tube can be used as a glove to avoid contact with hands.
