Abstract: A well stimulation and purging composition which is typically used in well cleanup, well stimulation and formation purging applications for enhancing oil and gas production. The composition is a cationic surfactant characterized by a homogenous aqueous solution of a coco diamine amido benzyl chloride type quaternary compound, phosphate chelator/ester, isopropanol anhydrous, ammonium bisulfide, and potassium chloride or a clay stabilizer formulation, and aids in extracting water and condensate from wells and dissipates, disperses and retards bacterial growth and buildup of iron sulfide, iron oxide, calcium and salt. The composition is applied to the wells in order to clear the water and condensate and significantly enhance total well production by chelating minerals such as salt, iron and calcium; retarding bacterial growth; and flocculating and foaming the water, condensate and solids from the well.
Abstract: Disclosed in the present application is a composition that is useful for rust and/or corrosion removal that contains a reducing agent, a chelating agent, a surfactant, and a dispersant. Disclosed also are processes for using this composition in aqueous systems and metal surface treatment.
Abstract: A metal cleaning composition useful in an aqueous solution comprises an alkali metal salt and a corrosion inhibitor. The corrosion inhibitor is provided in the form of zinc phosphate compounds such as zinc orthophosphate.
