A comparative study of novel scale inhibitors with commercial scale inhibitors used in seawater desalination

Desalination, 2015
Abstract Seawater from the Arabian Gulf was heated under conditions simulating those of thermal desalination processes and the change in the amount of aquated Ca2 + followed over time using Inductively Coupled Plasma/Optical Emission Spectroscopy.

Well Stimulations and Scale Inhibitors

Permian Basin Oil and Gas Recovery Conference, 1988
ABSTRACT Three major well or reservoir stimulation methods or techniques are concerned with scale inhibitor applications: Acidizing. Fracturing. Acid Fracturing. Scale inhibitors are frequently used during these three types of well and/or reservoir stimulation jobs. The main objective for the use of

Development of Scale Inhibitors

CORROSION 1996, 1996
Abstract During the last fifty years, scale inhibition has gone from an art to a science. Scale inhibition has changed from simple pH adjustment to the use of optimized dose of designer polymers from multiple monomers. The water-treatment industry faces many challenges due to the need to conserve water, availability of only low quality ...

An Environmentally Friendly Scale Inhibitor

CORROSION 1999, 1999
Abstract This paper describes a method of inhibiting the formation of scales such as barium and strontium sulfate in low pH aqueous systems, and calcium carbonate in systems containing high concentrations of dissolved iron. The solution, chemically, involves treating the aqueous system with an inhibitor designed to replace organic ...

Encapsulated Scale Inhibitor Treatment

Middle East Oil Show and Conference, 1997
Abstract Scale formation and deposition (CaCO3) in production facilities is a problem encountered in the Ghawar Field in Saudi Arabia. The scale deposition causes production loss and safety hazards. Downhole scale inhibitor squeeze treatments have proven successful in controlling this scale accumulation.

Modeling Scale Formation and Optimizing Scale-Inhibitor Dosages

IDA Journal of Desalination and Water Reuse, 2011
AbstractBecause of its reliance on simple indices for scale prediction, inhibitor selection, and dosage estimation, water chemistry design and treatment software currently used for membrane systems is not always adequate for the rigors of high-recovery systems.

Development of an Ecofriendly Scale Inhibitor for Harsh Scaling Environments

Proceedings of SPE International Symposium on Oilfield Chemistry, 2001
Abstract The recent advances in drilling and completion technology have led to the development of more complex reservoirs including high pressure, high temperature, and high salinity (HP/HT/HS) fields. A combination of high calcium and barium concentrations in the produced water, coupled to high reservoir temperatures presents a ...

Development of a Mineral Scale Inhibitor

Corrosion, 1961
The expense attributable to scaling in oil producing operations totals many millions of dollars annually. Causes of precipitation and deposition are fairly well understood but better methods of control are needed. In order to evaluate chemical scale inhibitor components, a laboratory testing device was designed.

The Performance of Scale Inhibitors in the Inhibition of Iron Carbonate Scale

Proceedings of SPE Formation Damage Control Symposium, 1994
Abstract A potential mechanism for part of the production decline observed in the Prudhoe Bay field is siderite (iron carbonate) scale deposition. This laboratory investigation focused on evaluating the effect of the existing downhole scale inhibitor program on the proposed siderite formation damage mechanism.
