Oilfield scale is one of the major flow assurance problems in the oil field industry. Scaling is
deposition of inorganic salts due to supersaturation of salts in water. Many researchers have …

In the oil industry, water injection is used as a secondary recovery technique for pressure
maintenance and efficient oil and gas production. Injected water may be incompatible with …

Water injection to reservoirs for recovery increase is a common enhanced oil recovery
method in petroleum industry. Water injection might give a negative result due to scale …

Calcium sulfate inorganic scale deposition is a major challenge that can block tubulars and
hinder flow assurance during hydrocarbon production and water injection operations. This …

Water injection is used worldwide as an improved oil recovery (IOR) method upstream in the
petroleum industry to sweep oil toward production wells or to maintain the appropriate …

This paper presents a new approach for flooding carbonate reservoirs using chelating agent
fluid system prepared using seawater without dilution. Sequential coreflooding tests using …

The performance of barium sulphate oilfield scale inhibitors (SIs) is affected by a number of
factors, including temperature, pH and brine composition. This thesis focuses mainly on the …

Mixing of two incompatible waters in water injection projects is usually associated with
mineral scale formation and deposition in porous media. Deposition process dramatically …

In offshore operations where seawater is commonly used to prepare hydrochloric acid,
calcium sulfate precipitation, the potential of which can greatly reduce the effectiveness of …

Sulphate and carbonate scale are the most important types of inorganic scales that can be
observed in majority of reservoirs which encounter scaling problem during water injection …
