Abstract

Injection wells are a vital part of the oil production process at Pertamina EP Subang Field. Regular acidizing treatment is needed to maintain the reliability of injection wells. The high cost of acidizing treatment for injection wells is a significant financial challenge. Therefore, innovation is required to make costs efficient by independently performing acidizing treatment with the same quality as using a stimulation unit. This tool, the "Auto Suction Chemical Pump" (ASCP), can function properly after
conducting research, simulation, making prototypes and conducting various experiments. After completing tests with good results, tools with upscaling sizes were fabricated using SS 316 material for acidizing stimulation activities at injection wells at Pertamina EP Subang Field. ASCP is a game changer in performing acidizing treatment on injection wells because it does not require external power but uses injection power from the well itself. By performing regular acidizing, the reliability of injection wells can be maintained so that oil production activities take place optimally. In addition, acidizing treatment using ASCP can reduce operational costs because it does not require a stimulation unit rental.
