scale inhibitor

This study proposes graphene nanoplatelets as a preflush system to extend the lifetime of a conventional scale-inhibitor squeeze treatment.

This paper describes the evaluation of a recently developed robust solid dissolver that can dissolve multiple types of scale simultaneously.

To evaluate performance of a range of blended inhibitors, a trial was run on a North Sea produced water system which was applying monoethanolamine (MEA) phosphonate-type scale inhibitor as well as novel cleaning programs to counter a high carbonate saturation ratio in the heater. The objective was to find an improved scale inhibitor formulation that would outperform M…

The authors of this paper describe a study of magnesian calcite particles forming hard, inhibitor-resistant calcium-carbonate-like deposits and potential mitigation measures.

The authors of this paper develop an assay method to determine effective scale-inhibitor concentration.

The application of an extended-release scale-inhibitor in approximately 70 vertical conventional wells in the Permian Basin has shown approximately three times better performance compared to the incumbent chemical.

Shell and Tomson Technologies completed field trials in the Gulf of Mexico using new nanoparticle-enabled phosphonate and polymer inhibitors that improve the treatment lifetime of scale squeezes.

In this study, a laboratory analysis was conducted to study the effect of a phosphonate-based scale inhibitor on a mixture of hypersaline Arabian Gulf seawater and formation water under high-temperature/high-pressure conditions.

This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of scale-inhibitor-analysis techniques and describes how these techniques can be used to provide cost-effective scale management.

Calcium sulfate (CaSO4) in the form of gypsum and anhydrite is one of the more prevalent evaporite minerals typically found in the carbonate rocks of the western Canadian sedimentary basin (WCSB).
