Title: Small diameter concentric tubing extends economical life of high water - sour gas Edwards producers

Conference · · Soc. Pet. Eng. AIME, Pap.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6411317

Seven small-diameter tubing installations have been completed in two Edwards sour gas fields, Texas, which have high water production. Although there has been further decline in reservoir pressure, continuous production has been maintained without stop-cocking. Corrosion inhibition has been effective and the cost has been nominal compared to the previous expense of displacing the inhibitor each month with nitrogen. Thus, the economical life of the wells has been extended. 5 refs.
