Paraffin Control for Oil Wells

products are used to control paraffin, corrosion, and scale in producing oil wells, as well as in microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). Para-Bac is also used in above-ground production facilities to keep tanks, separators, and flow lines clean.

​

The Para-Bac product line includes: Maintenance treatments that eliminate the need for hot oiling, solvents, paraffin cutting and hot water.

​

Soaking treatments that clear perforations, remove skin damage, clear tubing and perform thorough well clean up that persists for months.

​

Stimulation treatments that increase daily production averages, impact formation flow characteristics, initialize flow, mobilize heavy fractions and increase net oil production. Increase in production can occur from 10% to up to 40%, and sometimes more.

Oil Production – Para-Bac® products are used to control paraffin, corrosion, and scale in producing oil wells, as well as in microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). Para-Bac is also used in above-ground production facilities to keep tanks, separators, and flow lines clean.

Application

Para-Bac™ comes as a ready-to-use liquid formulation and can be introduced to the well through the wellbore annulus by pumping or by a permanently installed pressure vessel. Treatment begins with an inoculation to establish the bacterial population of the well system. Thereafter, at predetermined intervals, maintenance doses of ParaBac™ can be added to maintain the colony of bacteria.

Handling and Shipping

Ben-Bac™ meets EPA requirements for release into the environment. Special clothing or equipment is not required for handling Ben-Bac™. Routine hygiene should be observed.
