case study

The Mensa field is a deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM) geopressured-gas field, producing from Upper Miocene sand with faulted four-way closure.

This paper discusses the available methodologies for remediation of a pipeline affected by sand and presents examples where the discussed methodologies have been applied.

Semoga and Kaji fields experienced reservoir souring and suffered a history of calcium-carbonate (CaCO3) -scale cases before a proper scale-inhibition program was implemented. Problems with a free water knockout discovered continued scale issues, leading to investigation of the reasons.
