Generation mechanism and control measures for H2S in oil wells, Liaohe Oilfield
H2S may be generated by the reactions of sulphur-alcohol and sulfoether in the crude oil or by the sulfur-bearing minerals in the formation at high temperatures. Sulphate can also be reduced to H2S by the sulphate-reducing bacteria in formation water at formation conditions. Experiments show that te...
