Oilfield chemistry
The process developed by Moscow’s Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology shows promising results in the laboratory, suggesting a novel method to produce hydrogen from natural gas reservoirs while trapping carbon in permanent storage.
The honor recognizes recipients for their lasting and significant contributions in the field of IOR.
This study emphasizes the vital need to evaluate well conditions and working-fluid compatibility with coiled tubing materials to prolong coiled tubing operational life.

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…
