Abstract:
1. A process of treating a subterranean well comprising a plurality of flow channels, wherein at least one of the flow channels is impaired, and wherein the process treats the subterranean well by alleviating the impairment, the process comprising: identifying specific characteristics of a petroleum bearing formation surrounding the subterranean well; creating a liquid treatment agent by: supplying a continuous flow of carrier gas into the subterranean well; allowing the carrier gas to push any liquids out of the plurality of flow channels; atomizing the liquid treatment agent; blending the atomized liquid treatment agent with the carrier gas in a concentration sufficient to suspend the atomized liquid treatment agent as a fog within the carrier gas, and outputting an atomized non-foaming treatment fog; and supplying the atomized non-foaming treatment fog, comprising the atomized liquid treatment agent suspended as a fog within the carrier gas, into the subterranean well wherein the atomized non-foaming treatment fog treats each flow channel without generating bubbles.
