Hydraulic fracturing of unconventional hydrocarbon resources involves the sequential
injection of a high-pressure, particle-laden fluid with varying pH's to make commercial …

The mechanistic understanding of the reactions that govern the inhibitor retention and
release, modeling, and the state-of-the-art innovation in squeeze treatment are reviewed …

The significant amount of gas produced from unconventional reservoirs in the US in recent
years has reduced market prices for hydrocarbon gas and created an opportunity for using …

The oil and gas industry produces millions of barrels of crude oil and a byproduct called"
produced water" daily. Unfortunately, this waste product is harmful to the environment …

Oilfield flow assurance is the subject to study the impact on the flow of production fluids due
to physicochemical changes in the production system. Mineral scale deposition is among …

Mineral scale refers to the hard crystalline inorganic solid deposit from the water phase.
Although scale formation is very common in the natural environment, deposited scale …

Water injection technique is contributing millions of oil barrels on a daily basis to the global
oil supply; one of the challenges faced by such an important production method is scale …

Unexpected mineral surface fouling, or deposition, is a ubiquitously recurring problem in
many industrial and municipal processes (eg, membrane filtration, oil and gas production) …

Aqueous CO 2-containing environment is ubiquitous in oil and gas production. Carbonate
scales (eg, calcite) tend to form in such an environment. Meanwhile, the CO 2 corrosion of …

The formation of inorganic scales on the surfaces of porous media, production wells, and
pipelines can substantially reduce the efficiency of oil production and damage reservoir …
