Select Industries - Soap Sticks

The Well Rescue Pack was specifically designed as a last resort for your watered up gas well. Dead gas wells lack the agitation required to benefit from conventional soap sticks or liquid foamer. Generally, once a well is dead, unless you are able to shut it in for long periods and build up enough bottom hole pressure to unload the fluid, your options are limited to expensive mechanical methods (swab units, gas lifts, pumps, etc.)

The Well Rescue Pack is a kit assembled with cost savings in mind. Each kit will include thirteen (13) 100% active foamer sticks as well as thirteen (13) high performance gas producing sticks. When used as directed, the foamer sticks are dispersed into the downhole fluid and the gas producing sticks create the agitation to foam the fluid.

The Well Rescue Pack was designed with a “one well, one pack” application in mind. In most cases, the typical treatment would be to drop the thirteen (13) 100% active foamer sticks into the well. The foamer sticks will need time to dissolve and disperse into the fluid column. Generally in no agitation, 70 degree fluid, 3 hours will be needed to achieve this. In deeper, hotter wells, less time will be required. After the required time, the thirteen (13) high performance gas producing sticks are dropped into the well. After the sticks have been given time to reach fluid, open the master valve of the well 25%. As fluid starts to unload from the well, slowly continue to open the master valve. Note: Even in cases where the Well Rescue Pack fails to unload the well, benefits will be seen from the foamer downhole when mechanical operations are used to remove fluid from the gas well.

As with all industrial chemicals, contact with eyes or skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly with water. Sticks should be stored in a cool dry place. Always remove stick from plastic bag or paper tube before using. Bag or tube can be used as a glove to avoid contact with hands.
