Gyp-scale deposition in producing wellbores is a recognized problem in many West Texas oil fields. The results of gyp-scale formation are usually reduced producing rates, premature well abandonment, and high operating expenses. An effective gyp removal and inhibition program is necessary for successful operation where gyp-scaling problems exist. Development of the gyp-control program presently in effect in the Means (San Andres) Unit began in 1969 when gyp was originally detected in the Grayburg-San Andres reservoir of the Means Field in Andrews County, Texas. Prior to that time, a great deal of progress had been made in the area of gyp-scale control in the Means (Queen) reservoir which overlies the Grayburg-San Andres. This paper presents a description of the Means (San Andres) Unit Gyp Scale Control Program and the results achieved with that program.

Abstract A laboratory study was made of the effect on several variables on the cathodic polarization of steel. For several phases of testing, actual produced fluid from West Texas oil fields was used. Laboratory work included studies involving temperature changes, the effect of two corrosive acid gases, the effect of varying amounts of an organic acid, and the comparison of actual produced fluids with synthetic fluids. It was found that changes in temperature from 78 F to 150 F had a decided depolarizing effect on steel in salt water. Mineral constituents of the fluids handled dictated the amount of current needed for the cathodic polarization of steel. The addition of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide definitely depolarized steel in a salt water system. 3.6.8, 5.2.1
