CASE HISTORY

Saltwater Disposal

Permian Basin, TX

APPLICATION TYPE:

Saltwater Disposal

Problems addressing:

High PSI + Low Injection Volume

Location:

Permian Basin, TX

History:

A Permian Basin producer had substantial scale build-up on a problem SWD. As a result injection pressure went to 800 psi in less than 90 minutes following pump start. After pump shut down, it took over 6 hours to return to static pressure.

PSI Over 24 Hours
Results:

With JGL's Microbe Treatment, the operator experienced three specific indicators of skin damage removal, which led to greater water flow and improved injectivity.

  1. The duration of the pressure rise was extended by 250% from 1.5 hours to 5.25 hours
  2. The maximum pressure decreased by 25% from 800 psi to 600 psi
  3. The pressure decline interval dropped by 50% from 6 hours to 3 hours
