Q: How much can JC 9450 raise stripper-well output?

In the Pecos County, TX study, production rose from 1–2 bbl/day to 15 bbl/day for under $100/day. In a June 2016 side-by-side stimulation, the treated well produced an estimated 33.5 bbl/day versus 19.5 for the control — a 72% gain — in 4 hours instead of 4–7 days and at lower material cost.

Q: Does it remove H₂S from produced water and gas?

Yes. In the Pecos County wells, H₂S was eliminated in both gas and liquid, with no detectable iron, bacteria or H₂S in the produced water. In a Houston wet-scrubber study, 2,000 mg/L H₂S was fully removed at $0.0040/lb, leaving only inert sulfates.

Increase stripper-well output

Hydroxyl radical ions are described as increasing the output of stripper wells in oil and gas production.

Control process biofilm

Biofilm protects pathogens across oil & gas production and process applications. JC 9465 provides oxidative power to destroy EPS and remove biofilm.

The opportunity

770,000+US stripper wells

11.3%Of US oil production

8.3%Of US gas production

50–70%Of their oil left unrecoverable

A stripper well is an oil or gas well averaging 15 barrels per day or less — typically just 1 to 2. According to the National Stripper Well Association, more than 770,000 US stripper wells together account for 11.3% of US oil and 8.3% of US gas. Yet 50 to 70% of the oil beneath them stays unrecoverable, held back by low reservoir pressure, poor permeability, and paraffin and asphaltene deposits.

JC 9450 ROS reacts with H₂S, iron sulfide, biofilm and bacteria, acts as an emulsion breaker and micro-flocculant for produced water, and destabilizes paraffin and asphaltene — freeing flow paths near the wellbore.

Field study — Pecos County, TX

From 1–2 bbl/day to 15 bbl/day.

In a February 2020 field study on four wells in Pecos County, Texas, treating with JC 9450 lifted production from 1–2 barrels per day to 15 barrels per day for less than $100 per day — roughly 5 gallons per day into the casing yielded 15 barrels per 12 hours.

H₂S eliminated in both the gas and liquid streams.
Produced water showed no detectable iron, bacteria or H₂S.
Output increase held for under $100/day in chemical cost.

Wet scrubbing — H₂S

Eliminating 2,000 mg/L H₂S from sour gas.

In a Houston study, a natural-gas stream carrying 2,000 mg/L H₂S plus 5% CO₂ was completely stripped of H₂S. The scrubber ORP shifted from −150 mV to +100 mV, and the only residuals left behind were inert sulfates.

Complete H₂S elimination from a sour-gas stream.
Treatment cost of $0.0040 per pound of H₂S removed.
Only inert sulfate residuals — no hazardous by-products.

Natural gas is classed as "sour" above 10 ppmv H₂S. On the emissions side, SO₂ comes mostly from power plants (73%) and industry (20%).

How does it improve flow near the wellbore?

JC 9450 ROS reacts with H₂S, iron sulfide, biofilm and bacteria, breaks produced-water emulsions, and destabilizes paraffin and asphaltene — the deposits that help make 50–70% of a stripper well's oil unrecoverable.
