Abstract

During production from sour gas reservoirs, precipitation of elemental sulfur can take place in production tubing, resulting in plugging of the well and stop of production. Injection in tubing of products devoted to dissolving sulfur can be an efficient solution for plug removal and production restoring. Traditionally, organic solvents (like toluene) are employed for solid sulfur dissolution. In the present work, experimental investigations have been performed on a particular innovative liquid product designed as active phase for wellbore injection or near wellbore applications. The analyses about the behavior of the considered product were conducted at HP-HT conditions. For this purpose, PVT laboratory equipment was employed, being able to reproduce the conditions of interest for the formation of elemental sulfur plug in well. An important preliminary optimization phase on the experimental setup was necessary to assure the correct management of studied liquid substance and solid su...
