Method of starting gas production by injecting nitrogen-generating liquid

摘要

Production is initiated from a gas well which is kept from producing by the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid it contains, by injecting an aqueous liquid that contains reactants which form nitrogen gas within the wall or reservoir and displaces enough liquid out of the well to lower the hydrostatic pressure to less than the fluid pressure in the adjacent portion of the reservoir and cause fluid to flow from the reservoir to the well.
