Abstract

Methods and systems for deliquification of fluid loaded, packed wells with sub-surface safety valves ('SSSVs') utilizing timed and tailored chemical treatments. A flow meter measures the flow rate of the well and an intermitter initiates shut in of the well when a particular flow rate is reached. A chemical treatment is applied and allowed to penetrate the length of the well before production is restarted. Predetermined combinations of chemical treatments and production cycles are utilized based on past experience and well data, and the entire process can be automated through the use of a computer system.
