The demand for gas in Indonesia has increased, this of course affects gas production which also increases. This
increase in gas production occurred especially in East Kalimantan where this area has become the largest natural
gas producing area in Indonesia. However, problems in gas production often occur and one of the most common
is liquid loading. Handling liquid loading is generally done using deliquification methods. One of the
deliquification methods used in East Kalimantan, in particular, is capillary string surfactant injection.
In this study, the author proposes and conducts a gas well selection process for capillary string surfactant
injection in the "B" field. The selection method used was adapted to field conditions using available data. In the
selection process, the author makes two additional methods using data from the use of capillary string surfactant
injection in the field and determines the cut-off from aspects of project success and the economic aspects
required.
This selection method process was carried out on 344 gas wells (Strings) in field "B". Of the 344 gas wells
(Strings), there are 79 data available and 21 wells are declared as candidates and 3 wells are used as a validation
process of the method used. The method used is validated to select gas wells that are indicated to have liquid
loading problems and are suitable for using the capillary string surfactant method.
