The Research on Influence Factors and Control of Hydrogen Sulfide during Steam Drive

Abstract:

This project carries out the research on influence factors of wells producing hydrogen sulfide in connection with the actual situation of producing hydrogen sulfide in Qi-40 steam drive process. Experimental studies have shown that: A. temperature is the main external factors of produce hydrogen sulfide, It will produce hydrogen sulfide when temperature is above 100°C, hydrogen sulfide content increase about 300ppm in average when the temperature increase per 20°C; hydrogen sulfide content will be in the greatest increase when temperature at the range of 160°C~180°C; the rate of increase in the levels of hydrogen sulfide will significantly reduce when temperature above 180 °C.B. Adding Chemical agent with surface activity can inhibit the release of hydrogen sulfide. C. Adding acid chemical agent will make the content of hydrogen sulfide increase. The experimental study also investigated hydrogen sulfide prevention measures.
