Method and composition for remedial treatment of parafin, asphaltenes, scale and deposits in oil and gas infrastructure and subterranean formations

Abstract

A method for treating a deposit is disclosed, wherein the deposit comprises a hydrophobic portion and an inorganic portion, the method including but not limited to contacting the deposit with a treating material to form a treated deposit, the treating material comprising peroxygen and surfactant and contacting the treated deposit with an acid. A product resulting from using the method is also disclosed.

1 . A product, the product comprising:
 a substrate having a deposit thereon; and   a treating material, wherein the treating material comprises a peroxygen and surfactant in contact with the deposit forming a least a portion of the treated deposit into particles.   
     
     
         2 . The product of  claim 1 , wherein the substrate is a tank surface and the treating material is an acid. 
     
     
         3 . The product of  claim 1 , wherein the deposit further includes but is not limited to a hydrophobic portion and an inorganic portion and wherein the deposit is in contact with the tank, and the treating material is in contact the deposit. 
     
     
         4 . A product comprising a pipe having a deposit therein and a treating material, wherein the treating material comprises a peroxygen and a surfactant. 
     
     
         5 . The pipe product of  claim 4 , wherein the treating material further comprises an acid. 
     
     
         6 . The pipe product of  claim 4 , wherein the deposit further comprises a hydrophobic portion and an inorganic portion and wherein the deposit is in contact with the pipe, and the treating material is in contact the deposit. 
     
     
         7 . A method comprising:
 removing slick water gels from frack procedures using a treated material comprising a gelling agent, peroxygen compound, a dewatering surfactant and a silicate.   
     
     
         8 . The method of claim  25 , the method further comprising:
 wherein the cleaning frack fluid is not gelled but contains the silicate and the de-watering surfactant.   
     
     
         9 . An subterranean well comprising:
 a well bore defined by the subterranean well;   a deposit residing in the well bore; and   a treating material residing in the well bore and in contact with the deposit.
