Filed:

Jul 5, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/481093

Inventors:

Nicholas Castellano - Mesa AZ, US

International Classification:

E21B 43/22
E21B 49/08

US Classification:

166246000, 166264000, 166305100, 507201000

Abstract:

A formulation and method to enhance recovery from an oil well are disclosed. The method supplies a mixture of petroleum distillates and terpenoid compounds, and a salt extraction formulation comprising a mixture of humic acid and fulvic acid. The method discontinues the extraction of materials from the oil well, disposing the mixture of petroleum distillates and terpenoid compounds into the oil well, and disposes the salt extraction formulation into the oil well. The method recirculates the oil well, and then returns the oil well to service.

International Classification:

E21B 43/22
E21B 43/16

US Classification:

166246, 1663051

Abstract:

A method to increase oil production from an oil well comprising a plurality of production zones is presented, wherein the method selects a production zone, isolates that selected production zone, and reconfigures flow lines to allow direct injection of materials under pressure into the selected production zone. The method determines a treatment pressure based upon soil porosity in the selected zone, injects a brine solution into the selected production zone at the selected pressure, and maintains the selected pressure in the selected production zone for at least 72 hours.

B08B 9/08

US Classification:

220216, 134 221

Abstract:

A method for removing sludge from a crude oil storage tank comprising a bottom and a moveable roof configured to float on the top of a quantity of crude oil disposed in said storage tank, where the method includes reducing a volume of crude oil in the storage tank to about a level of a sludge sediment in the storage tank, measuring a topology of the sludge disposed on said bottom, reliquefying asphaltene deposits, pumping the reliquefying asphaltene deposits out of the storage tank, wherein the method is performed without the entry of one or more persons into said storage tank.
