For oil-well stimulation, large quantities of acid - usually hydrochloric - are pumped at high rates of flow through the oil-well tubing into the producing formation. The primary object is to act on the formation in such a way as to stimulate the oil flow. If the nature of the formation requires it, hydrofluoric acid is added to the hydrochloric acid.

The techmque was first employed, in real-world conditions, for monitoring external corrosion in the large diameter steel tubing used for oil well casings. In the late fifties, T.R. Schmidt at Shell Developments, pioneered the technique in those demanding applications, although the technique itself was invented, by W.R. MacLean, (Ref. 1) somewhat earlier. T.R Schmidt has written a history (Ref. 2) of much of the early work in the technology, which contains many references, others which may be of interest are held on the NTIAC database (Ref 3).

Asphaltene precipitation, in many instances, carries from the well tubing to the flow lines, production separators, and other downstream equipment. It has also been reported (19) that asphaltic bitumen granules occured in the oil and gas separator with oil being produced from certain oil fields. 

Rope and belt skimmer units are quite efficient at removing thin layers of LNAPL from both open-trench wells and larger surface areas (ponds, or even manholes). Recent developments include development of belts that are sufficiently narrow to use in open wells. Both smooth flexible-tube and belt systems rely upon continuous rotation of a flexible closed-loop tube (or belt) constructed of an oleophilic material (Figure 7.16). The automatic unit draws the oil-covered tube (or belt) through scrapers and returns it to the surface to gather more oil. 

Perforators for both carrier and through-tubing type oil well completions are available. 

Patterson Petroleum of Houston filed first production figures on a new oil well in the Giddings Field, Washington County. The No. 1 Fischer showed potential to flow 350 barrels of oil per day, along with 750,000 CF casinghead gas on a 20/64-in. choke. Tubing pressure registered 1,100 PSI. 

Strontium, Barium Strontium was discovered near, and named after, the small town of Strontian, Scotland, in 1787. There are no commercial uses for the pure metal, but the carbonate salt, SrC03, is used in the manufacture of glass for color TV picture tubes. Barium is found principally in the minerals witherite (BaC03) and barite (BaSC ), after which it is named. Though water-soluble salts of barium are extremely toxic, barium sulfate is so insoluble that it is used in medicine as a contrast medium for stomach and intestinal X rays. Like strontium, barium metal has no commercial uses, but various compounds are used in glass manufacture and in drilling oil wells. 

Use Electrical equipment, vacuum tubes, incandescent lamps, dusting agent, lubricant, windows in high-temperature equipment, filler in exterior paints, cosmetics, glass and ceramic flux, roofing, rubber, mold-release agent, specialty paper for insulation and filtration, wallpaper and wallboard joint cement, oil-well drilling muds.
